Disney Officially Announces Live-Action ‘Tangled’ Movie

During the Disney Entertainment Showcase at the D23: Ultimate Fan Event, Disney revealed new details on the upcoming live-action adaptation of the iconic “Tangled” animated film, which was officially announced for the first time.

This is Disney’s version of the classic Brothers Grimm Rapunzel fairy tale: an innocent young girl locked up by her overly protective mother. Her wish to escape into the world outside finally comes true when she meets the good-hearted thief, Flynn.

One of the film’s stars, Kathryn Hahn, who plays Mother Gothel, took to the stage at the Honda Centre to share details about the film and show a special taped message to the audience from the movie stars Teagan Croft and Milo Manheim, who are currently filming in Spain. 

The film is directed by Michael Gracey and produced by Kristin Burr for Burr! Productions, with Lucy Kitada serving as executive producer.

The film also stars Diego Luna as a new character, Hawthorne, Caitríona Balfe as Queen Arianna, Elliot Cowan as King Frederic, and Patrick and Hugo McPherson as the Stabbington twins.

“Tangled” will be coming to theatres on March 31st, 2028, and we should expect it to arrive on Disney+ a few months later, in time for the summer.

While we wait for the new version of “Tangled”, the original animated film, along with its spin-off films and shorts, is also available to stream on Disney+.
