The film is directed by Michael Gracey, with a script penned by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson.

Background on the Original Film

The original Tangled, released in 2010, was a significant success, earning $200 million in the US and Canada. It featured the voices of Zachary Levi, Mandy Moore, and Donna Murphy, and was nominated for Best Original Song at the 83rd Academy Awards. The film is based on the classic story of Rapunzel, which has been a favorite among audiences for generations.

Previous Casting Considerations

Before Hahn’s casting was confirmed, Scarlett Johansson was reportedly considered for the role of Mother Gothel but withdrew due to scheduling conflicts. This shift in casting has led to excitement among fans, as Hahn’s portrayal is anticipated to bring a fresh take to the character.
