Whenever live-action Disney movies debut, it’s always a big deal. Who could forget Halle Bailey as Ariel in 2023’s The Little Mermaid? People certainly had a lot to say at the time! Other live-action Disney princesses we’ve seen include Naomi Scott as Jasmine in 2019’s Aladdin, Lily James as Cinderella (2015), and Emma Watson as Belle in Beauty and the Beast (2017).

So, who’s going to land the coveted role of Rapunzel in Disney’s Tangled? In December 2024, Disney announced that the adaptation is on its way. So far, people are openly making their guesses about who the role will go to. 

Sabrina Carpenter or Florence Pugh are leading the chat. Beyond these blonde beauties, a few other starlets have also entered the mix.

Which Blonde Beauty Will It Be? Carpenter Or Pugh For Rapunzel?

Sabrina’s strong case for Rapunzel comes from her awesome resume under her belt, with acting credits like Girl Meets World, Tall Girl, and Adventures in Babysitting. Her biggest songs to date are “Espresso,” “Please Please Please,” and “Feather.” 

One fan took to Reddit to hype Sabrina as Rapunzel, writing, “She’s got the looks for the role. singing career and acting career, as well as a huge name in the mainstream media. Guaranteed to bring an audience. She’s your best bet at success.”

Florence also has a strong case as she’s starred in a long list of blockbuster films like We Live In Time, Black Widow, Oppenheimer, Midsommar, and Don’t Worry Darling. When it comes to Florence’s extensive history as an actress, we are barely scratching the surface. 

Little Women, Dune: Part 2, and Lady Macbeth further prove that Florence could handle a role like Rapunzel hands down. While plenty of fans are rooting for Florence, others argue that she might not be the best fit. One ageist Redditor wrote, “I absolutely love Florence, but I think she’s too old to play Rapunzel.”

At 25, Sabrina’s closer to Rapunzel’s age – 18-year-old – in Tangled than 29-year-old Florence.

Another point in Sabrina’s favor is that Mandy Moore – who voiced Rapunzel in Disney’s animated Tangled – has publicly expressed her support for Sabrina taking on the role in the live-action movie.

She excitedly told Elite Daily, “I could see her with 50 feet of hair or something. She looks like a Disney princess in real life.”

Mandy went on to say she’d love to be cast as Rapunzel‘s mother in the film! Suggesting: “Maybe I could be Rapunzel’s mom. Let’s have a real mother-daughter duet, and have someone write an original song so we can talk about our differences and how hard it is to be a young person in this world.”

With a multi-talented celeb like Mandy on board and Sabrina cast as Rapunzel, it’s safe to say Disney’s live-action film could attract even more artists with superstar skills. By the way, Sabrina and Florence aren’t the only actresses fans are discussing as a possible Rapunzel in Tangled.

Could Taylor Swift Be Cast As Rapunzel?

Taylor Swift’s magical and whimsical presence makes her a natural fit for fans who are dreaming of her playing the role. With close to 20 years of hit songs in her discography, Taylor’s already proven she’s got the music component of the Disney princess down. 

Some of her biggest songs include “Cruel Summer,” “Blank Space,” and “Love Story.” The idea of Taylor bringing Rapunzel’s songs to life totally makes sense. On top of that, Taylor’s also tried her hand at acting on more than one occasion, starring in Valentine’s Day, The Giver, and Cats. 

Seeing Taylor assume the role of a Disney princess would certainly excite Swifties across the globe. But one knock against Taylor is her age – at 35 years old, she’s 17 years older than Rapunzel.

Might Sydney Sweeney Be Selected For Rapunzel?

At 27 years old, Sydney Sweeney has built an impressive reputation for herself in Hollywood. Her roles in series like Euphoria, Anyone But You, The White Lotus, The Handmaid‘s Tale, and Immaculate reveal her stunning talent and skill. She also has a massive Instagram following of 23.4 million people who are totally obsessed with her. 

Sydney’s the type of starlet who could ignite buzz and drive box office numbers for a live-action movie like Rapunzel. So, is it possible the blonde bombshell will be chosen for the role? While many support the idea, others argue that Sydney’s past nude scenes make her too sexualized for a kid-friendly Disney film. 

Lili Reinhart Could Pull Off Rapunzel 

You probably recognize Lili Reinhart from her role as the lovable Betty Cooper in Riverdale, where the beautiful blonde helped Riverdale maintain its success from 2017 until 2023. Other movies include Look Both Ways, Chemical Hearts, and Hustlers

Disney lovers are eyeing Reinhart due to her considerable acting chops and her matching hair color. Plus, she naturally captures the innocence required for an adorably naïve character like Rapunzel. Lili is currently 28 years old.

When it comes to choosing an actress for a boffo role that will undoubtedly be the talk of Tinseltown, there’s a lot to think about. Until Disney makes an official announcement, everything is up for speculation.
