Disney has set a March 31, 2028 release date for its live-action adaptation of “Tangled.”

The news was revealed during the Disney Entertainment Showcase at the D23 fan event Friday, where the first footage from the “Tangled” remake was shown exclusively to those in attendance.

Starring Teagan Croft as Rapunzel and Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider, the film follows the same Brothers Grimm fairytale as the 2010 animated movie about the princess with magically long hair. After spending years locked away in an isolated tower, Rapunzel is eventually rescued by the fugitive thief, Flynn Rider.

The live-action cast includes Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel, the film’s antagonist who locks Rapunzel away, and Diego Luna playing a new role. Patrick and Hugo McPherson play the Stabbington brothers, two twin villains.

“I love playing Mother Gothel. She’s stunning, hilarious, fab, kind, generous to a fault,” Hahn said from the D23 stage Friday. “Might be overprotective but that’s because she cares so much.”

Michael Gracey, who previously helmed “The Greatest Showman,” directs the film from a screenplay by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and Michael Montemayor. Lucy Kitada and Jessica Virtue executive produce, while Kristin Burr serves as producer.

Filming began in Spain in June 2026. The “Tangled” live-action remake was first reported to be in development in December 2024 but was put on hold the following April after the “Snow White” adaptation failed to impress box offices, earning only $69 million domestically and $145 million globally.

The original 2010 film brought in $592 million at the global box office, with Mandy Moore voicing the bubbly, long-haired princess and Zachary Levi voicing the arrogant Flynn. Its success has led to various spinoffs, including the short film “Tangled Ever After” and series “Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure.” The movie’s hit song, “I See the Light,” earned an Oscar nomination for best original song at the 2011 ceremony, plus Golden Globe noms for best animated feature and song.
