Disney Announces New Faces for Tangled Live Action Film
Disney Pictures has chosen two young talents to lead its upcoming live action adaptation of the beloved 2010 animated hit Tangled. Australian actress Teagan Croft will step into the role of Rapunzel, while Milo Manheim will portray Flynn Rider. Both actors bring fresh energy to the iconic characters and promise to draw audiences of all ages.
Teagan Croft Becomes Rapunzel
Teagan Croft, known for her work on the series Titans, now takes on the part of the plucky princess with magical hair. She brings a lively spirit and a sense of adventure that matches Rapunzel’s curiosity. Fans can expect her to deliver a performance that balances humor, bravery, and heartfelt moments.
Milo Manheim Joins as Flynn Rider
Milo Manheim, a star of the Zombies franchise, has been cast as the charming rogue Flynn Rider. His experience with musical roles and his natural charisma make him a strong fit for the daring outlaw who helps Rapunzel escape her tower.
The film is directed by Michael Gracey, who previously helmed The Greatest Showman. Gracey plans to incorporate major musical elements, ensuring the movie feels both fresh and true to its animated roots. Kristin Burr produces the project, while Jennifer Kaytin Robinson writes the screenplay. Their combined experience promises a high‑quality production.
