Live-Action Tangled Movie Casts Huge Star Wars Actor in Mystery Role

Disney’s Tangled live-action remake continues to create buzz with casting announcements, and its latest one brings a major name from a galaxy far, far away. Diego Luna has officially joined the upcoming adaptation in a mystery role, expanding his ongoing collaboration with Disney following his work in the Star Wars universe.

Luna’s involvement in the upcoming Tangled live-action remake is a major expansion of his relationship with Disney, following his critically acclaimed work across multiple Star Wars projects, including Rogue One and the Emmy-nominated Disney+ series Andor. While Deadline confirmed his casting, character details remain tightly under wraps, leaving fans to speculate wildly about where the actor fits into the kingdom of Corona.

The mystery about Luna’s role seems deliberate. With production set to begin in Spain this June, the studio is likely keeping plot specifics for the Tangled live-action adaptation still under wraps. What is known is that the project already boasts an incredible lineup. Teagan Croft stars as Rapunzel, the spirited princess with magical golden hair, while Milo Manheim takes on Flynn Rider, the charming thief who stumbles into her tower and changes both their fates. Kathryn Hahn steps into the villainous shoes of Mother Gothel, the manipulative woman who keeps Rapunzel hidden from the world.

Luna brings serious dramatic weight to the ensemble, along with a fiercely loyal fanbase. Given his knack for playing rebels with moral complexity, the possibilities for his character are intriguing. With the script penned by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and Michael Montemayor, and The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey at the helm, creative liberties are certainly on the table.

The original 2010 animated Tangled was a cultural juggernaut, grossing over $600 million worldwide. Revitalizing Disney’s princess genre for a modern audience, the film balanced sweeping adventure with genuine emotional arc. This live-action iteration aims to have that same magic while introducing new elements for a new generation.
