Leaked Set Photos Show Teagan Croft as Rapunzel as Disney Films Large Coronation Scene

The on-set images matter because they reveal practical costume choices and hair treatments that suggest the studio will use visual effects to create Rapunzel’s signature long, magical hair in post-production.

Overview

  • This week unofficial photos and fan videos from the Spain shoot gave the public the first clear look at Teagan Croft in Rapunzel’s costume and a large coronation sequence with hundreds of extras.
  • Images across reports show inconsistent hair looks — some shots with a long braided wig and others with Croft wearing much shorter hair — prompting questions about what viewers will see in the finished film.
  • Entertainment reporters and VFX observers say the production appears to be using practical shorter styles on set and will likely add the character’s glowing, floor-length hair with visual effects later in post-production.
  • Disney has confirmed the principal cast and creative team: Teagan Croft as Rapunzel, Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider, Kathryn Hahn and Diego Luna in supporting roles, director Michael Gracey, writer Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, and producer Kristin Burr.
  • The leaks have produced mixed fan reaction and renewed scrutiny of Disney’s live-action remake strategy, which has recently produced both big hits and costly flops, and the film is reported to be targeting a 2028 theatrical release.
