Overview
- At the D23 Disney Entertainment Showcase on Friday, the studio premiered brief first‑look footage and announced a theatrical release date of March 31, 2028 for the live‑action Tangled.
- The principal cast confirmed at the event includes Teagan Croft as Rapunzel, Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider, Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel, and Diego Luna in a newly created role.
- Michael Gracey is directing from a screenplay by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and Michael Montemayor with Kristin Burr producing and Lucy Kitada and Jessica Virtue listed as executive producers.
- Principal photography began in Spain in June 2026 and cast members were reported to be back on set in Spain as filming continues, with additional production expected later.
