According to Deadline, Diego Luna has officially been cast in Disney's upcoming live-action adaptation of Tangled, the beloved 2010 animated film. His specific role has not yet been confirmed.
Why This Casting Has Everyone Talking
Luna's addition to Tangled is genuinely intriguing — and a little unexpected. He brings serious dramatic weight to everything he touches, from Rogue One to Narcos: Mexico, but he's also shown real warmth and charm when the role calls for it. The big question on everyone's mind: is he Flynn Rider, the roguish thief with a heart of gold? King Frederic, Rapunzel's overprotective father? Or perhaps a villain-adjacent role nobody has publicly speculated about yet? Disney hasn't tipped its hand, and that mystery is exactly the kind of thing the fancasting community lives for.
With Luna now locked in, the remaining major roles — Rapunzel herself, Flynn Rider (if Luna isn't playing him), and the deliciously manipulative Mother Gothel — are still very much up for debate. This is the moment for fans to get loud about who they want to see bring Corona to life.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The myCast community has already started building out dream casts across multiple Tangled stories, and the picks are fascinating. Over on Tangled, fans have cast a surprisingly eclectic ensemble: Robert Pattinson has emerged as a pick for Flynn Rider, which honestly makes a lot of sense — Pattinson has the unconventional leading-man energy and the smirk to pull off Flynn's lovable con-artist persona. For Mother Gothel, fans have tapped Eva Green, and it's hard to argue with that. Green was practically born to play a theatrical, emotionally manipulative enchantress with impeccable cheekbones. Anya Taylor-Joy appears as a fan pick for Rapunzel in that same story — an inspired choice given her otherworldly screen presence and the emotional range the role demands. And in a casting choice that deserves its own headline, Dave Bautista has been nominated for Hook Hand Thug, which is the kind of perfect, playful fan logic that makes this platform so fun.
Meanwhile, over at , fans have gone in a different direction, with picked for Rapunzel and — best known as Criston Cole in House of the Dragon — getting a vote for Flynn. Frankel is an interesting dark horse: he's got the physicality and the brooding intensity, and he's clearly capable of more range than his HotD role lets him show.
