Disney is giving another fan-favorite animated classic the real-world treatment. The studio is officially charging ahead with a live-action version of *Tangled*, bringing the beloved fairytale of Rapunzel back to theaters with fresh faces at the center of the adventure. Rising Hollywood stars are stepping up to take over the lead roles. Reports confirm that Milo Manheim and Teagan Croft are heading up the cast for the upcoming production. The reimagined project aims to capture the magic of the 2010 animated blockbuster, which won over audiences around the globe with its sharp humor, romantic spark, and unforgettable musical sequences.
Who is in the Tangled live action cast?
Disney fans will immediately recognize Milo Manheim from his breakout role in the Disney Channel *Zombies* film series. His background in musical projects makes him a natural choice for Disney’s big-budget theatrical efforts. Joining him is Australian actor Teagan Croft, best known for her role as Raven in the hit DC superhero series *Titans*. Together, Manheim and Croft are set to carry the legacy first voiced by Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi in the original animated film. While specific character assignments are still officially under wraps, placing the two young actors at the top of the call sheet signals that the main dynamic is already locked in place.

What is the live action Tangled release date?
Disney has not set a formal theatrical release date for the project just yet. With key casting milestones now locked down, production preparations are continuing behind the scenes as the studio builds out the full ensemble. The original 2010 *Tangled* marked a major milestone for Disney Animation, earning massive box office numbers and critical acclaim while ushering in a brand-new era of 3D animated hits. Translating that scope into a live-action environment will require significant visual effects work, especially when it comes to bringing Rapunzel's magical hair to life on screen. As the live-action project gathers steam, moviegoers are waiting closely for announcements regarding supporting roles, including key villains and comedic sidekicks. Additional updates on the creative team and director will likely follow as production nears.
