Danny Ramirez Tangled Live Action

LOS ANGELES, CA — Actor Danny Ramirez, known for his role in Top Gun: Maverick, has expressed interest in playing Flynn Rider in a live-action version of Disney‘s Tangled. Fans on social media have enthusiastically rallied behind him, hoping for an official announcement.

The 33-year-old actor shared his desire to take on the beloved character from the 2010 animated film, which was a commercial success, earning over $590 million worldwide. The original story, based on the fairy tale Rapunzel, follows a young woman held captive in a tower who escapes with the help of the dashing thief Flynn Rider.

Online reactions have been positive, with fans taking to X to endorse Ramirez’s potential casting. One user said, “I never understood the Flynn Rider hype but if Danny Ramirez plays him I will be sat in theatres opening night.” Others praised his charisma and suitability for the role, echoing sentiments that he could perfectly embody the charm and smolder of Flynn.

Reports suggest that Scarlett Johansson may be in talks to portray Mother Gothel in the film. This potential casting comes as Disney reconsiders its approach to live adaptations, following a lukewarm reception to its recent Snow White remake.

The return of the Tangled project signals a shift in Disney’s strategy towards remaking classic animated films, as interest continues to build for a new take on the popular story. Neither Ramirez nor Johansson’s roles have been officially confirmed, but solid developments are expected in the coming days.

With the original Tangled still beloved by many, fans wait in anticipation as Disney balances the expectations of modern audiences with the nostalgia of the classic film.
