\n\tDiego Luna<\/a> is letting down his hair for Tangled<\/a>, Walt Disney\u2019s live-action adaptation of its 2010 animated movie.<\/p>\n

\n\tLuna has joined the project in a role created specifically for the feature, which goes before cameras in Spain in June.<\/p>\n

\n\tAustralian actress Teagan Croft and Zombies star Milo Manheim lead Tangled, respectively playing Rapunzel, the curious and plucky would-be princess with magical hair, and Flynn Rider, the cocky outlaw thief who helps her escape her tower prison. The two nabbed the roles after a search on both sides of the Atlantic in December.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso on the call sheet is Kathryn Hahn, hailed for her recent works in Agatha All Along<\/a> and The Studio, and who is playing the duplicitous Mother Gothel.<\/p>\n

\n\tMichael Gracey, who counts the musical biopics\u00a0Better Man\u00a0and\u00a0The Greatest Showman\u00a0among his credits,\u00a0is directing the feature, which, like the original, will have big musical elements.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is unclear whether Luna, as part of the new role, will be required to sing as details on the live-action take are being kept in the castle. The original animated film grossed over $591 million and spawned a popular Disney Channel series.<\/p>\n

\n\tKristin Burr, who was a producer on last summer\u2019s\u00a0Freakier Friday\u00a0as well as 2021\u2019s live-action\u00a0Cruella, is producing via her Burr! Productions.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe script is by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (I Know What You Did Last Summer,\u00a0Thor: Love and Thunder) and Michael Montemayor (Everyone I Know is Dead).<\/p>\n

\n\tExec vp of production Jessica Virtue\u00a0is overseeing the project for Disney Live Action.<\/p>\n

\n\tLuna is already part of the Disney family thanks for his acclaimed starring turn as the titular character in Andor<\/a>, the equally-acclaimed Star Wars series created by Tony Gilroy. His work on the show, based on the Star Wars movie Rogue One, earned him nominations for Emmy, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards.<\/p>\n

\n\tLuna\u2019s next big outing will be Ashes (Ceniza en la boca), a drama he directed and co-wrote that adapts the Spanish-language novel. The movie will premiere May 13 at the Cannes Film Festival. He also stars in Netflix\u2019s\u00a0Mexico 86,\u00a0which tells the true story of Martin de la Torre, the cunning bureaucrat\u00a0who negotiated Mexico\u2019s hosting of the 1986 World Cup.<\/p>\n
