The live-action remake of Tangled is stirring up considerable buzz.
Disney’s latest foray into live-action remakes has been a mixed bag, sparking lively discussions in Hollywood. Following a disappointing performance from the live-action Moana, which didn’t do well at the box office and faced harsh criticism online, Disney fans are looking for a rebound. The upcoming live-action version of Tangled offers a new opportunity for Disney to win back its audience and silence its detractors.
Recently, a new video from the Tangled live-action set surfaced, featuring Milo Manheim, who is cast as Flynn Rider, prepping for a notable stunt. This particular stunt seems to recreate the memorable scene from the original 2010 animation where Flynn infiltrates Corona Castle to steal the crown of the lost princess. The production is taking place at Ciudad de la Luz studios in Alicante, with plans to conclude filming by August.

Milo Manheim, known for his role in Disney’s Zombies series, will star alongside Teagan Croft, who plays Rapunzel. The film will also feature Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel and Diego Luna in a new role crafted specifically for this adaptation. As of now, the release date for Tangled is projected for 2028. Recent set photos offer a glimpse of Manheim and Croft dressed as their characters in what seems to be the Kingdom of Corona, showcasing a shift in the traditional color scheme from purple and gold to blue and gold.
The production is also bringing back Maximus, the cherished royal horse, with scenes involving both live horses and a mechanical puppet horse, suggesting innovative solutions for blending live-action elements in the film. Michael Gracey, director of The Greatest Showman, is at the helm, with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and Michael Montemayor collaborating on the screenplay.
The original Tangled, which debuted in 2010, was a significant hit for Disney and continues to be a popular choice on Disney+. The film earned over $592 million worldwide, ranking it as the eighth highest-grossing movie of that year. It set a new standard as the first entirely computer-generated animated musical fairy tale, influencing a host of future Disney animated features.
