Live-Action Tangled Casting Talk: Teagan Croft As Rapunzel, Milo Manheim As Flynn Rider

Disney’s live-action Tangled has its rumored leads, with Teagan Croft set to play Rapunzel and Milo Manheim cast as Flynn Rider. In this quick headline, we talk about why this movie comes down to chemistry, what Flynn and Rapunzel need to feel like on screen, and the big question mark: does Disney lean into the songs, add new ones, or play it safer and ditch the musical angle altogether?

00:00 Casting news and quick background on both actors
00:17 Why Rapunzel and Flynn chemistry is the whole movie
00:31 The music factor and what Disney might do with the songs
00:45 Listener reactions and sign-off

• Teagan Croft (best known for Titans) is reportedly Disney’s live-action Rapunzel.

• Milo Manheim (Disney’s Zombies franchise) is reportedly set for Flynn Rider.

• The make-or-break element is their chemistry and that push-pull dynamic early on.

• Live-action Disney success often depends on whether the music lands with the audience.

• There’s a real possibility Disney changes the song approach, or skips songs entirely.

• “When you think of Tangled, what’s the key? It’s going to be the chemistry between these two.”

• “If the chemistry doesn’t work for these two, the movie won’t work.”

• “Maybe they won’t do songs at all, which I think might be the safer bet.”
