Disney is conducting auditions to find the actress who will portray Rapunzel in the upcoming live-action adaptation of 'Tangled.' Sources confirm that Sarah Catherine Hook, Teagan Croft, Freya Skye, and Olivia-Mai Barrett are among the young women currently being considered for the iconic role.

The casting search is a key step in the development of the film, which aims to bring the beloved animated story to a new generation. Disney is known for its meticulous casting process, often testing multiple actors before making a final decision. This testing phase allows the studio to evaluate chemistry and ensure the chosen performer embodies the character's spirit and essence.

Alongside the search for Rapunzel, Disney is also seeking the actors who will portray the male leads in the film. Milo Manheim and Charlie Gillespie are reportedly among the young men vying for a role, potentially as Flynn Rider or another significant character within the narrative. Details regarding the specific roles these actors are testing for remain undisclosed at this time.

The live-action 'Tangled' is part of Disney’s ongoing strategy to reimagine its classic animated films for a modern audience. Previous live-action adaptations, such as 'The Lion King,' 'Beauty and the Beast,' and 'Aladdin,' have achieved significant box office success, demonstrating the studio’s ability to attract both nostalgic fans and new viewers. The film's release date and further casting announcements are expected in the coming months.
