# Disney Tangled live-action filming progresses > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/disney-tangled-liveaction-production > Updated: 2026-08-04T22:36:00.000Z. Sources: 34. Developments: 10. Production of Disney’s live‑action remake of *Tangled* continues in Spain and the United Kingdom. Principal photography, which began in late June 2026 at the Ciudad de la Luz studios in Alicante, has moved between Spanish locations such as Girona Cathedral, the Santes Creus monastery, Besalú and sets near Bilbao, as well as UK facilities. The cast remains Teagan Croft (Rapunzel), Milo Manheim (Flynn Rider), Diego Luna in an undisclosed role, and Kathryn Hahn, now confirmed on‑set in a burgundy costume as the villain Mother Gothel. New photographs also show the reconstructed kingdom of Corona, a royal family mural with a baby Rapunzel, and the Stabbington Brothers portrayed by twin actors Patrick and Hugo McPherson. Rapunzel’s iconic braid is being crafted on set with a 5‑kg handcrafted wig featuring gold strands and flowers, replacing the earlier plan for CGI hair. Director Michael Gracey (also credited as Gracey) leads the project, with a screenplay by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and Michael Montemayor, and production oversight by Kristin Burr. While earlier reports targeted a holiday‑season theatrical release in 2027, the latest information indicates the film is now slated for a 2028 release. The eight‑month shoot proceeds as scheduled, with set construction and costume work advancing toward the planned release window. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-04: Disney's Live-Action Tangled Reveals Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel Disney's live‑action Tangled, shot in Spain, unveils Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel and confirms cast details, with a 2028 theatrical release planned. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/disneys-live-action-tangled-reveals-kathryn-hahn-as-mother-gothel ### 2026-08-02: Disney Begins Filming Live‑Action Tangled in Spain with New Cast Revealed Disney is filming a live‑action *Tangled* in Spain, starring Teagan Croft and Milo Manheim, with new set photos showing the kingdom of Corona and a planned 2027 release. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/disneys-live-action-tangled-advances-with-new-set-photos-from-spain ### 2026-07-31: Disney's Tangled Live-Action Shows First Images of Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel Disney's *Tangled* live‑action remake releases first photos of Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel and Teagan Croft as Rapunzel, prompting mixed fan reactions as filming continues in Spain. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kathryn-hahn-appears-as-mother-gothel-in-disneys-liveaction-tangled-filming ### 2026-07-29: Teagan Croft's Rapunzel Look Revealed in Disney Live‑Action “Tangled” Set Photos Disney’s live‑action “Tangled” releases set photos of Teagan Croft as Rapunzel, Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider, filming in Spain, with a 2028 theatrical release planned. 11 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/disneys-live-action-tangled-reveals-first-look-at-teagan-croft-as-rapunzel ### 2026-07-25: Disney pushes live‑action remake slate despite Moana flop Disney’s live‑action “Moana” underperformed, yet the studio moves ahead with “Tangled,” unveiling twin actors as the Stabbington Brothers and confirming key cast members. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/disney-pushes-liveaction-remake-slate-despite-moana-flop ### 2026-07-25: Disney Tangled Live-Action Set Photos Reveal Stabbington Brothers and Royal Family New set photos from Disney’s live‑action Tangled show twins Patrick and Hugo McPherson as the Stabbington Brothers, a royal mural, and cast teasers ahead of the 2028 release. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/disney-tangled-live-action-set-photos-reveal-stabbington-brothers-and-royal-family ### 2026-07-20: Disney launches live‑action Rapunzel shoot at Girona Cathedral in Catalonia Disney started filming the live‑action Rapunzel movie “Enredados” in Catalonia, converting Girona Cathedral into a medieval set, with casting in Salou and shoots at other historic sites. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/disney-launches-liveaction-rapunzel-shoot-at-girona-cathedral-in-catalonia ### 2026-07-19: Disney's live-action Tangled features 5‑kg Rapunzel hair prop Leaked photos from Disney's Tangled live‑action set in Girona reveal a handcrafted 5‑kg Rapunzel hair piece, drawing fan praise; Teagan Croft and Milo Manheim star as Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/disneys-live-action-tangled-features-5kg-rapunzel-hair-prop ### 2026-07-17: Disney's Live-Action Tangled Begins Filming in Alicante, Spain Disney began filming its live‑action Tangled remake in Alicante, Spain, using a real Rapunzel tower and an eight‑month schedule across Spain and the UK, aiming for a 2028 release. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/disneys-live-action-tangled-begins-filming-in-alicante-spain ### 2026-06-29: Disney's Tangled live‑action remake starts filming in Spain Disney's live‑action Tangled began filming at Ciudad de la Luz Studios in Alicante, Spain, constructing a practical Rapunzel tower; the cast features Teagan Croft, Milo Manheim, Kathryn Hahn and Diego Luna. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/disneys-tangled-liveaction-remake-starts-filming-in-spain --- Cite as: Disney Tangled live-action filming progresses.
