While Disney’s big D23 showcase did tease some footage from the live-action take on Rapunzel tale ‘Tangled’ (and had Mother Gothel actor Kathryn Hahn on stage), the presentation didn’t feature every new actor.

The studio has announced that Caitríona Balfe (‘Outlander’) is aboard as Queen Arianna, who is Rapunzel’s mother in the film.

Release Date: Mar 31, 2028

Directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard, the original ‘Tangled’ starred Mandy Moore as Rapunzel, a spirited young princess with magical, golden hair who escapes from her isolated tower for the first time to experience the world, embarking on an adventure with a charming thief (Zachary Levi), only to discover her true identity and face the dangerous truth about the woman called Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy) who kept her captive.

The new movie, directed by Michael Gracey (‘The Greatest Showman’), features Teagan Croft as Rapunzel and Milo Manheim as Ryder.
