Disney Greenlights 'Tangled' Live-Action After Previous Indefinite Pause
Disney resumes Tangled live-action development with Scarlett Johansson as Mother Gothel after pausing in April due to box office concerns of other remakes.
- Deadline reports Disney has resumed early development on a live-action Tangled, with two-time Oscar nominee Scarlett Johansson circling the role of Mother Gothel.
- Disney halted work on Tangled amid concerns tied to Snow White's box-office returns, which grossed $206 million worldwide, pausing the project in April.
- Anchored by its 2010 success, the remake will draw on the original's story and songs, with Michael Gracey directing and Jennifer Kaytin Robinson writing the screenplay.
- As part of a broader strategy, Disney is revisiting beloved animated titles while building new IP, resuming Tangled to align with investments like Impossible Creatures and Lilo & Stitch's $1.03 billion success.
- Scarlett Johansson's potential casting would add significant star power, as her continued box-office draw makes Tangled poised for success with older Disney animated titles.
