Tangled is an upcoming American musical adventure fantasy comedy film directed by Michael Gracey from a screenplay by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. It is a live-action adaptation of the 2010 animated film of the same name.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

In December 2014, Tangled (2010)'s producer Roy Conli revealed that the production team had been "heavily pushed" for a feature-length sequel to the film, but when the writers and directors got together to develop one, they realized, "she cut her hair. It's over!"[1] Conli explained that at Walt Disney Animation Studios under John Lasseter, it is always the filmmakers who decide whether they are ready to make a sequel (not marketing or merchandising).[1] In January 2015, Conli again provided a similar explanation when pressed on this point, and also mentioned that directors Nathan Greno and Byron Howard ultimately "were not really interested" in continuing the story.[2]

In May 2020, Hannah Shaw-Williams of Screen Rant asked whether the success of the movie would lead to a sequel (apart from the short film Tangled Ever After), stating there is no word of it being in active development, noted that Disney is "developing a live-action movie about Rapunzel" and stated that it would take several years for a possible movie to reach theaters.[3]

In December 2024, Michael Gracey was in talks to direct the film, with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson writing the screenplay.[4][5]

Casting

[edit]

Zachary Levi has expressed interest in reprising his role of Flynn Rider for the film.[6]
