One month ago today, we reported about a live-action Tangled remake in development in Disney. Now, it appears that the studio might already be potentially casting.
According to industry insider Daniel RPK, one very popular actress is being eyed to star in the film. That actress is, of course, none other than Kathryn Hahn.

In a post published to RPK’s Patreon Friday evening, it was revealed that not only is Hahn on Disney’s radar for the film, but that she is a frontrunner to play Mother Gothel!
For those who may not remember, Mother Gothel was the film’s likable antagonist who was both a mother figure to Rapunzel and her captor. Hahn is no stranger to the House of Mouse as she plays Agatha Harkness in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Now, because this bit of info has yet to be confirmed, as always we urge you to take it with a grain of salt. Due to RPK’s track record, however, we are inclined to believe it might be true.
What do you think of this potential casting?

Currently, The Greatest Showman filmmaker Michael Gracey is in talks to direct with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Thor: Love and Thunder) writing the script.
Tangled was a hit with audiences and critics alike,would go on to make over $590 million at the worldwide box office, and would become the most successful Disney animated feature film since The Lion King in 1994, both financially and commercially. The film would also start a brand new movement for the Disney company in terms of aesthetics and marketability similar to how The Little Mermaid impacted the Disney Renaissance.
