Kathryn Hahn is reportedly being considered by Disney to play Mother Gothel in the upcoming live-action remake of Tangled. The actress, celebrated for her role in Agatha All Along, is said to be in talks to portray the manipulative witch who raises Rapunzel while exploiting her magical hair for eternal youth. Her potential casting comes after Scarlett Johansson exited the project, leaving fans eager to know why she passed on the role.
The film itself is shaping up to be one of Disney's most anticipated adaptations. Teagan Croft will star as Rapunzel alongside Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider, with Michael Gracey directing and Jennifer Kaytin Robinson penning the screenplay. The 2010 animated original grossed around £465 million worldwide, and the studio hopes to recapture that success with a fresh take on the beloved fairy tale.
