It might even be to the live-action Rapunzel's advantage to not be a direct remake of Tangled. That won't be the case with all of their upcoming live-action fairy tale movies, but it makes sense here, given the popularity of the general Disney Princess brand. The DisneyInsider is also reporting the live-action Rapunzel is being developed as a theatrical release, as opposed to an exclusive for the Disney+ streaming service (a la last fall's Lady and the Tramp).

Disney has already released one live-action movie featuring Rapunzel (2014's Into the Woods Broadway musical adaptation, which costarred Mackenzie Mauzy as the long-haired princess) since Tangled reached theaters, so it's possible Rapunzel will be similarly unrelated to the animated film. Screen Rant has reached out separately to Disney, which has confirmed the news about Powell working on a live-action Rapunzel film is accurate.Īs mentioned, it's not clear yet if the live-action Rapunzel will be a re-imagining of Tangled or draw more from the original Brothers Grimm fairy tale. The DisneyInsider has learned Disney is developing a live-action Rapunzel movie that may or may not be based on Tangled, with Ashleigh Powell ( The Nutcracker and the Four Realms) writing the script. Tangled: Which Disney Movie is Actually Better? That may no longer be the case, judging by today's news. Of course, some have half-joked about the inevitable(?) live-action Tangled remake (something Levi suspects he's too old to star in by now), but there haven't been any serious developments on that front. The Mouse House has continued to build the Tangled brand with shorts like Tangled Ever After and Tangled The Series, but have yet to produce a theatrical sequel to the original movie. In doing so, Tangled ushered in the current era of Disney computer animation and paved the way for big hits like the Wreck-It Ralph and Frozen franchises.

The movie was a big success for Disney Animation, grossing $592 million worldwide and more than doubling the box office for its previous fairy tale film, 2009's 2D-animated The Princess and the Frog. The studio famously adapted the fairy tale into an animated feature a decade ago with Tangled, featuring the voices of Mandy Moore as the lost princess Rapunzel and Zachary Levi as the charismatic thief Eugene Fitzherbert (or, as he prefers to go by, Flynn Rider). Disney is developing a live-action Rapunzel movie.
