Sabrina Carpenter Rumored to Have Met With Disney About Rapunzel Role in Live-Action TANGLED
A few months ago, it was confirmed that Disney was officially moving forward on the live-action Tangled adaptation that had been rumored for years. This will be based on the popular 2010 animated film of the same name that tells the classic fairy tale of Rapunzel, but with a new, musical twist.
The film has had several fan-casted rumors of who will fill the shoes of not only Rapunzel, but also Eugene/Flynn Rider, and Mother Gothel.
One recent rumor for the lead role was the pop singer Sabrina Carpenter, and it looks like her involvement may be coming to fruition. According to scooper MTTSH, Sabrina Carpenter has now met with the studio about potentially playing the lead role.
Carpenter is obviously best known for her career as a singer/songwriter, but she actually started out as an actress and has appeared in several projects including Adventures in Babysitting (2016), The Hate U Give (2018), The Short History of the Long Road (2019), Clouds (2020), Emergency (2022), and Netflix's Tall Girl movies. She also played Cady Heron in the Broadway musical Mean Girls (2020).
I think Carpenter would be a great choice for the role. Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) is set to direct the pic, and Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, who helmed Sony’s upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel, wrote the latest draft of the screenplay. Stay tuned for updates as the movie moves forward.
