First Public Set Photos Show Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel in Disney’s Live-Action Tangled

Early fan praise for paparazzi set images signals momentum for Disney's Tangled before its planned 2028 release.

Overview

  • Paparazzi images published July 31 show Kathryn Hahn in hair and makeup on the Tangled set, offering the first public look at her take on Mother Gothel.
  • Production is actively filming in Spain with on-location shoots reported in Girona and at Burgos Cathedral for scenes set in the kingdom of Corona.
  • The principal cast and creative team are in place, with Teagan Croft as Rapunzel, Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider, Diego Luna in an unspecified role, Michael Gracey directing, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson writing, and Kristin Burr producing.
  • Disney has not released an official costume photo; the new images are set and paparazzi shots and Hahn previously confirmed her casting via a social post that Disney echoed.
  • Fans have reacted positively to the early footage and photos, a response that may strengthen goodwill for Disney’s wider live-action strategy that paused and later resumed Tangled and that currently targets a 2028 theatrical release.
