Sadie Sink Among Top Contenders for Disney’s Tangled Remake
Disney is moving quickly on its live-action Tangled adaptation, with Sadie Sink rumored to be a leading candidate for Rapunzel. Several other rising stars are also reportedly in the running, while some fan favorites have been ruled out. Find out who’s still in the race.
After a period of uncertainty, Disney is now accelerating development on its live-action adaptation of Tangled. Recent reports suggest that Sadie Sink is one of the main actresses being considered for the lead role. Alongside her, McKenna Grace, Emma Myers, and Isabel May are also said to be in the mix as potential Rapunzels. While Disney has reportedly conducted extensive screen tests to find the right fit, it remains unclear if these four actresses have officially auditioned yet. Sink, known for her work with Disney and other major franchises, is seen by many as a strong contender, but the final decision is still up in the air.
Fan Favorites Left Out of the Running
When news first broke about the Tangled remake, Sabrina Carpenter quickly became a fan favorite for the role of Rapunzel. Many felt she matched the character’s look and had the vocal talent to bring the part to life. However, recent rumors indicate that Disney has decided not to cast Carpenter. According to a semi-reliable source, the studio felt she was "too pretty" for the role and wanted someone with a more relatable appearance. This claim has not been confirmed by Disney or Carpenter, so it should be taken with caution.
