Will Taylor Swift play Rapunzel in the live-action Tangled movie remake?
Taylor Swift has not been officially tapped to play Rapunzel in the live-action Tangled movie remake.
The rumor about Taylor Swift being considered for Rapunzel in the live-action Tangled remake comes from reputable industry insider MyTimeToShineHello.
However, since this information does not come from an official source, fans must take it with a grain of salt.
Taylor Swift is only one of a number of stars who have been rumored to be in consideration for the role of Rapunzel. Black Widow’s Florence Pugh is another name that is reportedly being considered for the role, according to industry insider Daniel Richtman. Moreover, Richtman also claimed that Kathryn Hahn was being eyed for Mother Gothel.
Furthermore, Sabrina Carpenter is another name that has come up in conversations about casting for the movie. This casting idea comes from Mandy Moore, who voiced Rapunzel in 2010’s Tangled. Moore expressed in an interview with Elite Daily in 2024, that she would pick Carpenter for the role if she was in charge of casting. “I could see her with 50 feet of hair or something,” Moore said. “She looks like a Disney princess in real life.”
The official cast of the live-action Rapunzel film is currently unknown. However, a Deadline report from December 2024 revealed that The Greatest Showman’s Michael Gracey was in talks to direct the film from a script penned by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson.
