Following a temporary pause earlier in 2025, Disney's Tangled live action remake is once again in the spotlight after reports surfaced that Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson is being considered for a lead role. The film, currently in early development, is part of Disney's ongoing strategy to adapt its animated classics for modern audiences.
According to a People report, Johansson is 'in talks' to join the Tangled cast, possibly taking on the role of Mother Gothel, the story's central antagonist. The film will be directed by Michael Gracey, best known for The Greatest Showman, with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson writing the screenplay.
