Disney revives live-action Tangled with Scarlett Johansson in talks to play Mother Gothel, following Snow White's underperformance.

Disney has revived its live-action remake of Tangled, with Scarlett Johansson in talks to play Mother Gothel, following a pause after the underperforming live-action Snow White. Director Michael Gracey and screenwriter Jennifer Kaytin Robinson are returning to the project, which remains in early development. The revival comes after the success of live-action remakes like Lilo & Stitch, which earned over $1 billion globally, signaling renewed confidence in post-1989 Disney animated classics. The original 2010 film grossed nearly $600 million worldwide. Casting for Rapunzel is underway, with several young actresses under consideration, though no official announcements have been made.
