The highly-anticipated live-action remake of Disney’s 2010 beloved movie Tangled has found its two protagonists.<\/p>\n

Directed by Michael Gracey, who helmed musical biopics Better Man and The Greatest Showman, the live-action feature is set to star Titans star Teagan Croft as Rapunzel and Disney Channel star Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider (via The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The roles of Rapunzel and Flynn were previously voiced by Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi in the animated version.<\/p>\n

Following the official announcement, Manheim, who also featured in Eli Roth’s holiday horror Thanksgiving, took to Instagram to share the news with his followers. <\/p>\n

“Too grateful to put into words,” he captioned a side-by-side picture of himself and the animated Flynn.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the feat for Zootropolis 2<\/a>, writer and co-director Jared Bush said: “Everyone at Disney Animation put their heart, soul and passion into this film to tell a story full of joy, imagination and incredible thoughtfulness.<\/p>\n

“This milestone means the world to us, because more than anything, it means audiences are coming to theatres for a shared experience of watching this movie on the big screen, everyone together, from all walks of life around the world \u2014 and that is a Zootopia dream come true.”<\/p>\n
