Disney's Live-Action Tangled Begins Casting, Though Scarlett Johansson No Longer Involved After Joining The Batman Part 2
- Last week, Walt Disney Pictures began casting Rapunzel and Flynn Rider for a live-action Tangled, while Scarlett Johansson recently left to star in The Batman Part 2 and The Exorcist.
- Earlier this year, Disney paused Tangled after Snow White failed to recoup its $240 million production budget, then revived interest following the $1 billion success of Lilo & Stitch.
- Last week, the studio held screen tests in London for Rapunzel candidates Freya Skye, Sarah Catherine Hook, Teagan Croft and Olivia‑Mai Barrett, while Milo Manheim, Charlie Gillespie and Gilli Jones tested for Flynn Rider; Lola Tung may have missed testing due to a scheduling conflict.
- Production timing depends on casting as Disney is eyeing to shoot Tangled in the United Kingdom next year, with sources saying a casting decision could be made sooner than later.
- Michael Gracey is directing the live-action Tangled, which will retain big musical elements and follows the 2010 animated Tangled starring Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi.
