Overview
- Disney confirmed Teagan Croft as Rapunzel and Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider, noting the film will play only in theaters after The Hollywood Reporter first broke the news.
- Michael Gracey directs from a script by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, with Kristin Burr producing, and the adaptation is set to feature major musical elements.
- The lead roles followed an extensive casting search across the U.S. and U.K., with finalists screen-testing in London in December 2025.
- The key role of Mother Gothel remains uncast, with reports indicating Scarlett Johansson was previously in discussions for the part.
- No production start or release date has been announced, as the project moves forward within Disney’s live-action slate following 2025 results that included a $1 billion Lilo & Stitch and an underperforming Snow White.
