According to artthreat.net, Diego Luna has officially joined Disney's live-action remake of Tangled, with production scheduled to begin in Spain this June — though his specific role in the film has not yet been disclosed.
Why This Casting Matters
Luna's addition to the project is a significant signal that Disney's Tangled remake is moving fast — Spain locations locked, a recognizable name attached, cameras rolling in weeks. But the casting announcement raises more questions than it answers. Flynn Rider? A reimagined supporting character? An entirely new role written for the adaptation? We don't know yet. And that ambiguity makes the fancasting conversation around the remaining confirmed-open roles — Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, and the deliciously villainous Mother Gothel — more urgent and more fun than ever.
For fans of the original animated film, this is the moment the remake stops being a rumor and starts being real. Disney is building out the cast now, which means the window to dream-cast this thing is wide open — and narrowing by the week.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The myCast community has been quietly workshopping this one, and some genuinely compelling picks have surfaced across multiple fan stories. The most fully fleshed-out version lives at Tangled, where fans have weighed in on seven roles. The top picks there paint an interesting picture: Anya Taylor-Joy leads the vote for Rapunzel — a choice that makes a lot of sense when you think about her ethereal screen presence and the emotional range she brought to The Queen's Gambit. For Flynn Rider, fans in that story are rallying behind Robert Pattinson, which is a bold, slightly left-field choice that actually has some real logic to it — Pattinson has proven he can do charming rogue with genuine depth. And for Mother Gothel, the fan pick is Eva Green, which is honestly so perfect it's almost unfair. Green doing manipulative, theatrical villainy in a Disney live-action? Someone make this happen.
Over at the Tangled story, the community has been exploring a different direction, with getting the nod for Rapunzel and — best known from House of the Dragon — emerging as a fan favorite for Flynn. Frankel as Flynn is a fascinating pick; he's got the jawline, the smirk, and the dramatic chops to make the character feel fresh rather than like an animated-to-live-action carbon copy. With only a handful of votes cast across these stories so far, the race is genuinely wide open — your vote could shape the conversation.
