Four Actresses Vie for Lead Role in Live-Action Tangled Movie
Disney's long-awaited remake of its animated classic appears to be moving forward, with several popular young stars reportedly under consideration for the iconic main character. As the studio narrows down its choices, one fan-favorite seems to be out of the picture entirely.
Following a period of uncertainty, Disney seems to be pushing ahead with its live-action adaptation of Tangled. A new report suggests that the studio is looking at four prominent young actresses for the coveted part of Rapunzel. The list of potential canidates includes Sadie Sink, McKenna Grace from Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, Emma Myers of Wednesday fame, and 1883's Isabel May.
The studio is known for its thorough screen-testing process to find the ideal actor for such a significant role. However, it remains unknown if these four performers have officially auditioned. Sink is considered by many to be a frontrunner, partly due to her existing relationships with other Disney-owned properties, which could give her an edge in the casting process.
A Fan-Favorite Is Reportedly Out
When news first broke about the remake, Sabrina Carpenter quickly became a popular choice among audiences to portray the lost princess. Fans pointed to her physical resemblance to the character and her impressive singing abilities as key reasons why she would be a perfect fit.
Despite strong public support, an online scooper has claimed that the studio passed on Carpenter. The reason given was unusual, suggesting the company wanted someone with a more 'ordinary' look for the part. It's crucial to remember that this information is unconfirmed, as neither the studio nor the actress has commented on the rumor.
Other Big Names Also Sidelined
Ariana Grande and Bella Hadid are two other major celebrities who were reportedly considered but are no longer in the running. With Disney continuing its trend of live-action remakes, including a Moana 2 adaptation scheduled for next year, more official news about this project could be released soon.
