Milo Manheim’s Role in Live-Action Tangled
Milo Manheim will play Flynn Rider in Disney’s live-action adaptation of the beloved animated film Tangled. This casting decision raises the question of how the new film will reinterpret the characters and story that captured audiences in 2010.
Joining Manheim in the cast is Kathryn Hahn, who will portray the character Mother Gothel, and Teagan Croft, who will take on the role of Rapunzel. Hahn announced her casting on Instagram, expressing excitement for her first major live-action Disney role.
The original animated Tangled film was a significant success, grossing over $591 million worldwide. The live-action project was first announced in 2024, and it is expected to begin filming soon.
Manheim is best known for his role as Zed in the Disney TV film franchise Zombies and was a runner-up on Dancing With the Stars Season 27. His casting has been met with enthusiasm, with some fans comparing it to the level of perfect casting seen with Margot Robbie as Barbie.
Hahn’s portrayal of Mother Gothel is anticipated to bring a unique charm and edge to the character, with one fan commenting, “Great casting choice. Kathryn Hahn has the charisma and edge to make Mother Gothel both charming and unsettling.” This sentiment reflects the excitement surrounding the casting choices for the film.
As the live-action Tangled project progresses, fans are eager to see how the new interpretations of these iconic characters will unfold. Details remain unconfirmed about the specific plot changes or additional casting announcements.
With the original animated film’s popularity and the strong talent involved in the live-action adaptation, expectations are high for this new rendition of Tangled. The combination of Manheim, Hahn, and Croft promises to bring fresh energy to the classic story.
As production begins, the creative team will undoubtedly work to balance the nostalgia of the original film with new elements that resonate with contemporary audiences.
