However, there is no mention of casting, including Cynthia Erivo or any other actors for Rapunzel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/tangled-live-action-remake-pause-disney-1236180940\/\">Hollywood Reporter<\/a> on April 3, 2025, Disney has temporarily stopped work on the live-action version of <em>Tangled<\/em>. This decision appears to be influenced by two main factors: the poor performance of Disney&#8217;s <em>Snow White<\/em> remake at the box office and changes in Disney&#8217;s leadership team. These details match what people have been discussing on social media about the project&#8217;s status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cynthia Erivo Announced as Rapunzel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/name\/nm7248827\/\">IMDb<\/a>, Cynthia Erivo is an actress and singer known for her roles in <em>Wicked<\/em> and <em>Harriet<\/em>. Her IMDb profile shows no connection to a <em>Tangled<\/em> live-action remake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Walt Disney Company&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/thewaltdisneycompany.com\/\">official press website<\/a> and major entertainment news sites shows no announcements about Erivo being cast as Rapunzel. As of April 18, 2025, there are no mentions of her or any casting decisions for the <em>Tangled<\/em> remake in Disney&#8217;s press releases. This is significant because Disney always announces major casting decisions for their big projects through this channel. For example, they used their website to announce Halle Bailey for <em>The Little Mermaid<\/em> and Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott for <em>Aladdin<\/em>. The fact that there&#8217;s no announcement about <em>Tangled<\/em>&#8216;s casting clearly shows that claims about Erivo&#8217;s casting are untrue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, we have contacted Disney for further information regarding this rumor and will update this article once we receive a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on our investigation, the claim that Disney paused its Tangled live-action project is true, however, the claim about Cynthia Erivo being cast as Rapunzel is false. Multiple credible sources confirm that Disney announced the project in December 2024 and subsequently paused it in April 2025, but there is no evidence supporting Erivo&#8217;s alleged casting. The social media posts appear to be spreading misinformation by combining a true event (the project&#8217;s pause) with an unsubstantiated casting claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t\t\t.container {\n\t\t\t\t\t  border: 2px solid #000;\n\t\t\t\t\t  background-color: #eee;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 5px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  padding: 16px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin: 16px 0\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container::after {\n\t\t\t\t\t  content: \"\";\n\t\t\t\t\t  clear: both;\n\t\t\t\t\t  display: table;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t  float: left;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 50%;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container span {\n\t\t\t\t\t  font-size: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 15px;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (max-width: 500px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  text-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  margin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  float: none;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  display: block;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/False.png\" alt=\"Avatar\" style=\"width:120px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><span>Title:<\/span>Disney Paused Tangled Live-Action Project, But Did Not Cast Cynthia Erivo\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <strong>Fact Check By:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@factcrescendo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cielito Wang<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><strong>Result:<\/strong> False <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/html>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=94771514696&#038;text=Please%20type%20your%20Name%20and%20Language:%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2481\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Whats-app-sri-lanka.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In early April 2025, social media posts on platforms claimed that Disney had paused its live-action remake of Tangled and that actress Cynthia Erivo had been announced to play Rapunzel.
