Diego Luna (*Andor*) has joined Disney's live-action *Tangled* remake in a newly created role, following the casting of Teagan Croft as Rapunzel, Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider, and Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel. Filming begins in Spain this June.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter and confirmed by Deadline, Diego Luna is expanding his Disney ties with an original character in the live-action adaptation of Disney's 2010 animated hit Tangled. Details of his role are under wraps. The project is directed by Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) from a screenplay by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and Michael Montemayor, with Kristin Burr producing.

Production kicks off in Spain in June under Disney Live Action's Jessica Virtue, though no release date is set. Luna, a two-time Emmy nominee, recently wrapped Andor and has upcoming projects including directing Ashes (2026 Cannes, May 13), Netflix's México 86 (June 5), and Eleven Days.

This casting continues updates on the Tangled remake, previously paused after Snow White's box office but now advancing.
