Live-Action Tangled Film Casts Leads

Walt Disney Pictures has cast Teagan Croft (Titans) and Milo Manheim (Zombies) in the lead roles in its live-action Tangled movie.

Croft will star as Rapunzel, and Manheim will play Flynn Rider. Michael Gracey (Better Man, The Greatest Showman) is directing the feature film. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge, Thor: Love and Thunder) wrote the script.

Kristin Burr (Freakier Friday, Cruella) is producing.

The casting comes after a long battle for the roles. Reportedly, Sarah Catherine Hook, Freya Skye and Olivia-Mai Barrett were up for the Rapunzel role, and Charlie Gillespie and Gilli Jones were in the running for Flynn Rider. The characters were voiced by Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi in the 2010 animated movie.
