Ever since it was announced that Disney was looking into adapting 2010’s Tangled into a live-action movie, fans have been coming up with all sorts of talent to reprise the beloved roles of Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, and co.
In case you missed it, the news that Disney was developing a live-action take on Tangled first broke in December 2024 with Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey attached. The project was then reportedly put on hold in April of 2025 before being revived a few months later. Though the live-action Tangled is still reportedly in early development as of late 2025, that’s not stopping fans from coming up with their dream cast for the potential movie. In the past, Disney has adapted a fair share of musical movies into live-action films, including Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Snow White, and soon Moana, among many others.
While some fans are manifesting open-call castings so a completely new face could bring the Tangled cast to life, others have already found familiar faces that could work for the role. If you, too, are curious and excited about the prospect of the cast, we’ve combed the internet to find some of the most popular choices for the titular roles in a live-action Tangled — and also added a few of our own.
