News Live-Action Tangled Remake in Development

[Disney Irish]

I'd rather have Anna Sophia Robb, but unfortunately she may have aged out of it.

Age is only a number now in Hollywood, so as long as she can maintain her youthful look (so it doesn't require de-aging) then she can still do it.

However I think both Florence and Sabrina are a better fits myself, and Sabrina even got the nod from the voice of Rapunzel herself, Mandy Moore.

 

[Disney Irish]

But they'll probably go with another P.O.C. like Amandla Stenberg.

Still not likely in my opinion, but we'll see what happens when they announce casting.

 

[Tha Realest]

Now this would be inspired.

 

[Farerb]

They should get Idina Menzel.

They should get Idina Menzel.

She’s almost certainly a better singer than Hahn, but - and pardon the heresy - she is not a big enough “name” for the film. They’d likely go with a more known box office quantity (to be fair - Hahn has had modest success in this area).

It depends on who they cast as Rapunzel. If they go with a bigger name - Sabrina Carpenter?* - they may have more latitude to go with a more talented though lesser known box office quantity.

*Her box office appeal is unclear.

Menzel is arguably a much bigger star than Hahn is. And obviously has a better voice as well

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

Not bad, but I think it's hard to not think of Agatha when you look at her now. Especially if she's got magical powers.

That makes me wonder...how did Mother Gothel figure out the rhyme she had to say in order to make the flower gleam and glow?

I believe it's explained in the TV series.

That's above my paygrade.

Menzel could arguable be a more bankable star than Hanh, not to say that Hanh isn't but she hasn't been in a lot of huge movies. Both have done mostly mid-level movies, but Menzel has the edge with Frozen plus the better singing voice (even though Hahn also has a great singing voice but isn't known for it unlike Menzel).

So Menzel would be a A choice in my book and would probably be my casting choice, but if Hanh wants it I say give it to her.

 

[Farerb]

They can also get Susan Egan:

 

[Disney Irish]

I'd be perfectly happy with new fan favorite Meg Donnelly, since Anna Sophia Robb has aged out. She is only 24 and fits the character almost perfectly.

Her benefit is she already has a good working relationship with Disney on numerous projects. So might be a good fit there as well. Though she hasn't had much film work, working mostly in TV, so does she have what it takes to transition to the big screen.

 

[MisterPenguin]

I don't want any actors who can do 'all right' in singing. I want a knock your socks off cast of real singers.

 

[coffeefan]

Disney loves working with their child stars again, so Sabrina is possible.

I don't know what you are talking about, Adele Kazeem is really famous.

 

[Disney Irish]

I could see also Dove Cameron in the role as Rapunzel as well.

 

[networkpro]

In search of inclusion, I nominate Danny DeVito for the role of Rapunzel.

Disney has reportedly paused development on the live-action reimagining of Tangled:

'The Greatest Showman' helmer Michael Gracey was on board to direct the musically inclined remake of the 2010 animated hit.

[Disney Analyst]

Probably for the best. The live action remake train may be coming to an end, given the discourse and uncertainty they cause.

I’d rather Disney try focusing on originals again.

Well, from the sound of it they already incorporated most of what you would expect from the crappy version of Tangled in their crappy version of Snow White.
