Tangled (2024 film)

Tangled is an upcoming American musical adventure fantasy comedy film directed by Chris Columbus, from a screenplay by Randi Mayen Singer and Jennifer Lee. Co-produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Hughes Entertainment, it is a live-action adaptation of Disney's 2010 computer-animated film, which itself is loosely based on the German fairy tale Rapunzel in the collection of folk tales published by the Brothers Grimm. The film stars Chloe Grace Mortez, Thomas Doherty, Ralph Fiennes, Liam Hemsworth, Chris Hemsworth, Taika Waititi, Wagner Moura, Nick Offerman, Mike Myers, Mila Kunis, Stephen Amell, and Cher.

Plans for a remake of 2010's Tangled were confirmed in June 2017. Columbus joined the film as director in December 2017, and much of the main cast signed on from June to November 2019. Production was expected to begin in Ireland between late May and early June 2020 but was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming will take place in Dublin, Ireland and in Berlin, Germany, from October to December 2023. Composer Alan Menken, who worked on the original animated film's soundtrack, returned to compose the score and write new songs alongside Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.

Tangled is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States in 2024.
