Actress Kathryn Hahn is reportedly in negotiations to join the cast of Disney’s live-action remake of Tangled, according to a report from Variety. The discussions concern her possible involvement in the project, though no deal has been confirmed publicly.
Sources say Hahn is being considered for the role of Mother Gothel, the story’s primary antagonist. The exact stage of the talks and whether other casting offers have been made have not been disclosed. Earlier reporting indicated that Tegan Croft and Milo Manheim were expected to take the lead roles, but no full cast list has been finalized.
Tangled was originally released as an animated feature in 2010. Disney announced a live-action adaptation in December 2024, but by April the project was reported to have been put on hold. The studio did not give an official explanation for the freeze; industry analysts suggested the setback may have been connected to the poor box-office and reputational performance of a recent live-action Snow White. Work on the Tangled remake was reported to have resumed at the end of 2025.
Hahn, who has drawn attention for her work on television and in film, would join a project that has experienced a stop-start development cycle. Further casting updates and production details have not been released, and observers expect official announcements once contracts are finalized.
