‘Tangled’ live-action film casts Milo Manheim and Teagan Croft
Disney has found its stars for the upcoming live-action adaptation of beloved animated film “Tangled.”
Teagan Croft will take on the role of the iconic long-haired princess Rapunzel, while Milo Manheim is set to play wily thief Flynn Rider.
Aussie actress Croft is known for her work in the DC superhero universe’s series “Titans” as White Raven.
Other credits include “True Spirit” and “The Osiris Child.”
Manheim, the son of Golden Globe winner Camryn Manheim, rose to fame portraying Zed in the massively popular Disney Channel film series “Zombies.” He also currently plays a starring role in the Paramount+ teen drama series “School Spirits.”
He’s no stranger to the stage either, playing Seymour in “Little Shop of Horrors” last year off-Broadway, and taking on the role of the apostle Peter in “Jesus Christ Superstar” at the Hollywood Bowl.
Manheim also scored a second-place finish on “Dancing with the Stars” alongside pro Witney Carson back in 2018.
Michael Gracey, who’s behind the hit musical “The Greatest Showman,” will direct the live-action “Tangled” from a script by “Do Revenge” and “Thor: Love and Thunder” scribe Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. Kristin Burr will produce, while Lucy Kitada will executive produce.
The original 2010 film, which grossed nearly $600 million at the global box office, featured the vocal talents of Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi as Rapunzel and Fynn.
It also spawned a successful Disney Channel series, “Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure.”
“Tangled” features several memorable songs by famed composer Alan Menken (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin”) and lyricist Glenn Slater, including “When Will My Life Begin?,” “Mother Knows Best,” “I’ve Got a Dream” and the Oscar-nominated hit “I See the Light.”
No word yet on who will play the deliciously villainous Mother Gothel, who was voiced by Broadway icon Donna Murphy in the animated movie.
