A viral wave of speculation has taken over social media this week after claims surfaced that American actress Avantika Vandanapu may be cast as Rapunzel in Disney's reported live-action remake of Tangled. The 19-year-old performer, who gained recognition for her leading role in Disney Channel's Spin (2021) and the Netflix comedy Senior Year (2022), has quickly become a trending name among Disney fans.
The claim first appeared on social media, suggesting that Vandanapu had been linked to the project, with some users asserting that screen tests with actor Milo Manheim were underway. Although the post was later deleted, it ignited widespread online discussion.
