Kathryn Hahn in Talks to Play Mother Gothel in Disney's Live-Action TANGLED Adaptation
Disney is back on track to make a live-action Tangled, and they are moving forward quickly with the casting announcements.
Earlier this week, the studio revealed that Teagan Croft and Milo Manheim had been cast in the iconic roles of Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. Now, the studio has given word that actress Kathryn Hahn (Agatha All Along) is in talks to take on the role of the villainous Mother Gothel.
Ever since Disney made their live-action intentions known, fans have thrown out Hahn’s name as a shoe in for the part, and I agree. I think she would shine in the role of the charming and manipulative mother figure with a solid set of pipes and a trick up her sleeve.
The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey is attached to direct, working from a script by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge, Thor: Love and Thunder).
Hahn is a 4x Primetime Emmy nominee most recently for supporting actress comedy for Apple TV/Lionsgate’s The Studio, for Lead Actress in Anthology or Limited Series or Movie for Tiny Beautiful Things, for Supporting Actress for Limited Anthology Series or Movie for WandaVision, and in the category of Supporting Actress Comedy Series for Transparent.
