The casting was confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter just moments ago. Fans have eagerly awaited this news, especially as the project faced delays following the underwhelming box office performance of the live-action Snow White remake.
Teagan Croft, known for her role as Rachel Roth/Raven in DC’s hit series Titans, will portray Rapunzel. Meanwhile, Milo Manheim, who gained popularity as Zed in Disney Channel’s Zombies franchise, steps into the shoes of Flynn Rider. Both actors impressed during the final auditions in December 2023, ultimately winning the coveted roles originally voiced by Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi in the beloved animated version.
