We have confirmation that Kathryn Hahn (Agatha All Along) will play Mother Gothel in Disney’s live-action rendition of Tangled.
Hahn herself confirmed (kinda) the news on social media by revealing on an official Walt Disney Studios account that she was wearing a Mother Gothel T-shirt. The comment from the official Disney account said, “You want her to be the bad guy? FINE. Kathryn Hahn is Mother Gothel in Disney’s live-action Tangled.”
That’s what I’d call a confirmation that Hahn will be Rapunzel’s toxic “mother” in the film.
Hahn isn’t the only official casting news we have for the live-action Tangled, which was taken off the shelf after being put on hold after the poor box office performance of Snow White. We also know that Teagan Croft (Titans) will be playing Rapunzel and Milo Manheim (School Spirits) will be Flynn Rider.
Hahn also isn’t the only A-list actor rumored to take on the role of Mother Gothel. Back in October, reports suggested that Scarlett Johansson was taking on the role before speculation about Hahn also started circulating. Today’s message, however, confirms that it will be Hahn playing the bad guy in the film, including singing a rendition of the catchy song, “Mother Knows Best.”
No news yet on when the live-action Tangled will go into production or make its way to theaters.
