On March 10, 2026, Kathryn Hahn officially confirmed she is heading to the tower. The Agatha All Along star announced via Instagram that she has been cast as the villainous Mother Gothel in Disney’s upcoming live-action Tangled remake. Hahn’s signature blend of wit and theatricality makes her a natural fit to bring the manipulative, youth-obsessed antagonist to life.

Hahn joins a growing cast for the high-profile project. Teagan Croft is set to star as Rapunzel, the princess with the magic golden hair, while Milo Manheim will take on the role of the charming Flynn Rider. The production is being helmed by director Michael Gracey, who previously showcased his musical expertise with The Greatest Showman.

The announcement has sparked massive excitement among fans of the 2010 animated original. While Disney has not yet confirmed a theatrical release date, the casting of Hahn marks a significant milestone for the production. The film is expected to feature the beloved musical numbers composed by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater, including the villainous anthem, "Mother Knows Best."
