Some new photos of the TANGLED live-action set reveal who will play the Stabbington brothers and feature a mural of Rapunzel’s parents.
The photos show twins Patrick and Hugo McPherson dressed as the Stabbington brothers.
The mural shows the faces of Rapunzel’s parents, but it remains unclear which actors will play them, ScreenRant reported. There is a rumor that OUTLANDER’s Caitríona Balfe will play Rapunzel’s mother, as she has been spotted in the city where the movie is being filmed. She neither confirmed or denied the rumor.
Mandy Moore, who voiced Rapunzel in the animated movie, said she would enjoy the chance to play Rapunzel’s mom in the live-action movie.
“I would love to…I’m excited for it. I’m excited to see a big-screen adaptation in live action,” she said.
Zachary Levi, who voiced Flynn in the animated movie, agreed separately.

“I think it would be fun if Mandy and I got to play Rapunzel’s parents,” Zachary told ET. “I think that would be a fun little cameo.”
Milo Manheim stars as Flynn Rider and Teagan Croft will play Rapunzel. Katherine Hahn has been cast as Mother Gothel. Diego Luna has been cast for an undisclosed role. Michael Gracey will direct and THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER’s Jennifer Kaytin Robinson has written the script, Capital FM reported.
A recent set video shows children skipping around as they braid Rapunzel’s hair, like they do in the animated movie.
Manheim said of playing Flynn, “I’m gonna really honor this movie and this role. I love TANGLED, so here we go. Adventure of a lifetime.”
It was rumored that he would play Flynn long before he was cast. He only found out that he’d play the character minutes before his fans did.
“It’s important the world knows this! People think that I booked this like a long time ago and I’ve been keeping it a secret,” Manheim told Entertainment Weekly. “I found out 10 minutes before the news was released that I’d be playing Flynn.”
“So that day was — I woke up, just like any other day, and by the end of the day… it was beautiful. The world knew, it was great,” he said.
The 24-year-old has a long history of playing musicals. He’s a star in Disney’s ZOMBIE franchise and JOURNEY TO BETHLEHEM and plays Seymour in “Little Shop of Horrors” in an off-Broadway production.
There’s no official word from Disney yet on TANGLED’s release date, but fans expect it to come out in 2028.
