With The Greatest Showman and Better Man‘s Michael Gracey aboard to direct Disney’s live-action Tangled movie, the rumors have been flying around like crazy about the potential cast. While the most buzz has surrounded the possibility of Florence Pugh in the Rapunzel role, this latest rumor from scooper @MyTimeToShineH is sure to supplant it, because it involves pop superstar Taylor Swift.
The rumor, and I stress that’s all it is, says Swift is being eyed for the Rapunzel role in Tangled. She’s not been offered the gig or anything at this point, so who knows how this will actually play out. Swift keeps getting wishlisted for movies but actual performances from her are rare. Her last big feature role was in Amsterdam, preceded by Cats, neither film doing very well at all so it’s not like her stage popularity has translated to the screen yet. Many had thought she was under the Lady Deadpool mask in Deadpool & Wolverine but that role went to Blake Lively, instead.
Other rumors have Agatha Hahn, Jennifer Lopez, and Demi Moore named as possibilities for Mother Gothel.
Tangled will have a script by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, best known for co-writing Thor: Love and Thunder.
