\tDiego Luna<\/a> is letting down his hair for Tangled<\/a><\/em>, Walt Disney\u2019s live-action adaptation of its 2010 animated movie.<\/p>\n

\tLuna has joined the project in a role created specifically for the feature, which goes before cameras in Spain in June. <\/p>\n

\tAustralian actress Teagan Croft and Zombies <\/em>star Milo Manheim lead Tangled<\/em>, respectively playing Rapunzel, the curious and plucky would-be princess with magical hair, and Flynn Rider, the cocky outlaw thief who helps her escape her tower prison. The two nabbed the roles after a search on both sides of the Atlantic in December. \t<\/p>\n

\tAlso on the call sheet is Kathryn Hahn, hailed for her recent works in Agatha All Along<\/a> <\/em>and The Studio<\/em>, and who is playing the duplicitous Mother Gothel.<\/p>\n

\tMichael Gracey, who counts the musical biopics\u00a0Better Man\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The Greatest Showman<\/em>\u00a0among his credits,<\/em>\u00a0is directing the feature, which, like the original, will have big musical elements.<\/p>\n

\tIt is unclear whether Luna, as part of the new role, will be required to sing as details on the live-action take are being kept in the castle. The original animated film grossed over $591 million and spawned a popular Disney Channel series.<\/p>\n

\tKristin Burr, who was a producer on last summer\u2019s\u00a0Freakier Friday<\/em>\u00a0as well as 2021\u2019s live-action\u00a0Cruella<\/em>, is producing via her Burr! Productions.<\/p>\n

\tThe script is by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (I Know What You Did Last Summer<\/em>,\u00a0Thor: Love and Thunder<\/em>) and Michael Montemayor (Everyone I Know is Dead<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\tExec vp of production Jessica Virtue\u00a0is overseeing the project for Disney Live Action. \t<\/p>\n

\tLuna is already part of the Disney family thanks for his acclaimed starring turn as the titular character in Andor<\/a><\/em>, the equally-acclaimed Star Wars series created by Tony Gilroy. His work on the show, based on the Star Wars movie Rogue One<\/em>, earned him nominations for Emmy, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards.<\/p>\n

\tLuna\u2019s next big outing will be Ashes<\/em> (Ceniza en la boca)<\/em>, a drama he directed and co-wrote that adapts the Spanish-language novel. The movie will premiere May 13 at the Cannes Film Festival. He also stars in Netflix\u2019s\u00a0Mexico 86,\u00a0<\/em>which tells the true story of Martin de la Torre, the cunning bureaucrat\u00a0who negotiated Mexico\u2019s hosting of the 1986 World Cup.<\/p>\n

\tLuna is repped by WME.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
