Who is Playing Rapunzel Live Action? Discovering the Actress Behind It

Disney’s animated retellings of traditional fairy tales are so well-known that the name is practically synonymous with them. Disney has adapted several beloved fairy tales to the big screen, including Snow White and Cinderella. Tangled, an animated film produced by Disney in 2010, was an adaptation of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of Rapunzel.

Rapunzel was voiced by Mandy Moore, and Zachary Levi played her love interest Flynn Rider. After the success of Tangled, rumors surfaced in 2020 that Disney was working on a live-action adaptation of the Rapunzel story. While Disney has traditionally focused on animated adaptations of fairy tales, the studio has recently shifted its focus to live-action adaptations.

Both Beauty and the Beast and Maleficent have been retold in live-action thus far. These movies demonstrate that the charm of fairy tales can be converted into live-action films, even if they couldn’t quite match the animated masterpieces. The fact that our favorite actresses and performers can play their fairy tale doubles is an added bonus. Do you know who is playing Rapunzel live action? Here we will provide you with all information.

Who is Playing Rapunzel Live Action?

Disney is cranking out mediocre remakes of their animated classics in live-action. Most recently, we have The Little Mermaid. The Lion King and Pinocchio were the previous two movies we saw. Both are poor adaptations that do the original animated feature no justice. Disney, however, never seems to learn. Disney has already hired Jada Pinkett Smith as Rapunzel in its live-action adaptation of Tangled.

Disney is now developing a live-action remake of Princess Rapunzel, aka Tangled, another beloved fairy tale that will soon be brought to the big screen. Since the original animated picture didn’t come out until 2010, it can’t be considered one of Disney’s older classics. Fans are anxiously speculating about potential cast members and the director who might head this intriguing project, but specifics regarding the production are being kept under wraps for the time being.
