Mandy Moore Says THIS Disney Star Is Perfect For Live-Action 'Tangled' — And Wants To Be In The Movie Too
Jan 23, 2025
Disney is bringing another beloved animated movie to life! And the next Disney Princess to get the live-action treatment is Tangled's Rapunzel. Disney announced the adaptation in December of 2024, after rumors that Mean Girls’ Avantika and Milo Manheim would star as the lead role went viral last spring. We still don’t have an official live-action Tangled cast yet, but don't worry. There’s PLENTY that we do know about the new Disney movie.
Here’s everything we know about Disney’s live-action Tangled.
Florence Pugh and Sabrina Carpenter are just two names in the rumored Tangled cast.
We don’t have an official cast list yet (listen, I’m still crossing my fingers for Avantika!!) but according to the DisInsider, Florence Pugh remains the frontrunner for the role of Rapunzel, while Kathryn Hahn is rumored to star as Mother Gothel (I mean, I'm really good at karaoke singing,” she told ET). School Spirits actor Milo Manheim is a popular fancast for Flynn Rider, which I think is the best decision Disney could make for the role...and not just because I love him.
Mandy Moore, who voiced Rapunzel in the original 2010 film, has another casting idea: popstar Sabrina Carpenter! And after that viral Halloween Instagram post, yeah I can see it too!
“I could see her with 50 feet of hair or something," she told Elite Daily. "She looks like a Disney princess in real life.”
“Maybe I could be Rapunzel's mom,” she continues. “Let's have a real mother-daughter duet, and have someone write an original song so we can talk about our differences and how hard it is to be a young person in this world.”
Okay no matter who gets cast as Rapunzel, I NEED to see Mandy Moore make a cameo as the queen. It would just be too perfect!
And the live-action Tangled already has an incredible crew.
Michael Gracey, who gave us The Greatest Showman, is in talks to direct the live-action Tangled. The script will be written by Do Revenge & I Know What You Did Last Summerscreenwriter Jennifer Kaytin Robinson.
When is the live-action Tangled coming out?
It's still super early in the pre-production process, so there's a good chance we won't see Tangled until 2026 at the earliest. Good thing we're getting Snow White and Lilo & Stitch this year! Not to mention you can stream The Little Mermaid as many times as you want on Disney+.
What is Tangled about?
Tangled follows the story of Rapunzel, who lives at the top of a tower hidden in the forest. When a jewel thief named Flynn Rider takes refuge in her tower, Rapunzel convinces him to help her escape and fulfill her biggest desire: to see the castle's annual floating lantern ceremony.
Not only is the animation in this Disney movie absolutely beautiful (meaning the cinematography in the live-action version will probably make me cry), but Alan Menken's soundtrack is pure genius. Who hasn't imagined themselves dancing to "Kingdom Dance"?!
Are you excited for the live-action Tangled? Let us know your dream cast on Facebook and check out the other live-action Disney movies coming your way.
Gladiator 2 premiered in theaters right before Thanksgiving, and it was the true Roman Empire we’d been waiting for! We saw Russell Crowe’s character Maximus boldly reclaim his legacy in the first Gladiator, but the sequel followed Lucius' storyline. It was one of our most-anticipated 2024 movies and we can’t wait to dish about all the important details you need to know!
Get your popcorn and one of our delicious cocktail recipes ready because you’re in for a real treat!When will Gladiator 2 start streaming?
Gladiator II/IMDB
Great question! Gladiator 2 is reportedly available to watch RIGHT NOW on Paramount+ so consider yourself lucky if you're already a subscriber (via The Hollywood Reporter) . The outlet also reports you can buy it on Prime Video or Apple TV!
Let's make a pact to watch it after work so we can be entertained on yet another snow day.
Watch The New 'Gladiator 2' Trailer Now
Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Denzel Washington, and Paul Mescal were absolutely electric together! And the use of "No Church in the Wild" by Jay-Z and Ye? My jaw literally dropped.
I originally wanted to know if these three powerhouses could form an alliance that would change the future in Gladiator 2. Despite the outcome (no spoiler alerts here!), there was sizzling action...and bodies. And by sizzling, I really mean it. Paul revealed in an interview with EW that his arena scene, which will feature a CGI rhino, was so hot, he was "borderline throwing up."
"We shot that for about two or three days, but the heat was just….My Irish blood does not function with Ridley's shooting schedule, which is like sun up to sun down, hottest parts of the day," he says. "It was brutal, the fight. I grew up playing sports, so I would consider myself pretty robust and happy to throw myself around, but it was just the [arena] itself became like a radiator. I was borderline throwing up, irritable, just hardcore. Between takes I was firing ice straight down my back."
Pedro Pascal also recalled a few memorable moments from shooting the film, and my personal favorite was what sounds like the greatest blooper of all time. "I was running off the drawbridge, and they kind of dressed it with some dust so that when it slams against the fortified wall, there's a big puff of smoke, of dust," he says. "And I'm charging off the drawbridge and jumping over the wall, and I slip,. I literally bounce off the drawbridge on my —ss and land splat in front of Paul's feet on the first take." And in true Pedro fashion, he followed up with, "Are you not entertained?"
"There was a moment when we were rehearsing my fight scene with Pedro, and I had an idea towards the end of the scene to kiss Pedro on the forehead," Paul adds, referencing a cut scene. "I was like, 'Ridley: Kiss on the forehead, did you like it? Yay or nay?' There was radio silence for a second. His radio crackles back, and [Ridley] goes, 'I'm afraid I did.'"
Your First Look At Paul Mescal In 'Gladiator 2'

The first look at Paul Mescal's character Lucius featured our new lead ready for battle. When I first saw this picture, all I could think was "Wherever Paul leads, I'll follow."
What was Gladiator 2 about?

Gladiator 2 Plot
Keeping true to the characters the first film introduced, Gladiator 2 focused on Paul Mescal's Lucius. He was a gladiator who'd been exiled to fight — similar to Maxmius' fate — and hadn't seen his mother Lucila in over a decade.USA Todayoriginally reported there would be a nod to Maximus as young Lucius has great respect for the legacy he left behind.
When did Gladiator 2 premiere?
Paramount Pictures
Gladiator 2 Release Date
Gladiator 2 premiered in theaters November 22, 2024. Check out the rest of this year's fall movies to see what else debuted last year.

The 97th Academy Award nominations are here! And they have plenty of surprises. In addition to some incredible nominations, like A Real Pain for Original Screenplay, Wicked for Best Picture, and Anora's Mikey Madison for Best Actress, there were some serious snubs. Because what do you mean Challengers didn't get nominated for ANYTHING?! Considering it won Best Score at the Golden Globes, I'd have thought it had that nomination secured, but the Academy had other plans. We'll have to tune in to ABC and Hulu on March 2, 2025 to see how it all plays out, but until then, you can read up on your favorite movies' nominations below.
Here's the full list of 2025 Oscar nominations.
The Craziest 2025 Oscar nomination snubs.
Amazon MGM Studios
I really can't believe Zendaya didn't get nominated for her performance in Challengers. Her viral "crazy eyes" scene generated enough conversation to give her a nom in my opinion. I remember sitting in the theater and thinking, Wow, I've never seen her make that face before, can we replay that? And, of course, I'm mourning the fact the movie didn't get nominated for Best Score. "Match Point" playing during the ending of the movie will always be an Oscar-winning moment to me!
But in addition to Z, Selena Gomez also didn't get nominated for her role as Jessi Del Monte in Emilia Pérez, despite the fact the movie got a total of 13 nominations.
My group chat immediately blew up when we realized Sing Sing wasn't nominated for Best Picture.
