Overview

• The project has resumed early development, with The Greatest Showman filmmaker Michael Gracey still attached and a script by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson.
• Disney has not formally greenlit the film, and no casting has been announced for Rapunzel or Flynn Rider.
• Reports say Scarlett Johansson is in talks to play Mother Gothel, the antagonist voiced by Donna Murphy in the 2010 animated film.
• Development was paused in April after Snow White underperformed, then revisited as newer-era remakes showed stronger audience interest.
• Trade reports note producers include Kristin Burr and Lucy Kitada, as Disney Live Action pairs legacy remakes with new IP such as Impossible Creatures.
