Tangleds Director Reveals Why No Sequel: The Story Was Already Complete
After Tangleds box office success, fans awaited a sequel, but it never came. Director Nathan Greno explains why. The team brainstormed a sequel but hit a wall. Rapunzels arc was already complete, from locked-up princess to empowered woman. A sequel felt forced, like forcing Pinocchio to stay real or the Beast to remain human. Instead, they made a six-minute short, Tangled Ever After, to tie up the wedding loose end. The animated side is closed, but the spirit lives on in a live-action remake. Michael Gracey, director of The Greatest Showman, helms the project, with Teagan Croft as Rapunzel, Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider, and Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel. Filming starts this summer, aiming for theaters in mid to late 2027.

0:00It's April 29th. You're listening to Entertainment and celebrity news today. AI-powered entertainment coverage. Disney's Tangled from 2010 crushed it at the box office, but fans waited years for a sequel that never dropped. Now director Nathan Grino is spilling why it stayed on one and done. He says the team did brainstorm a Tangled 2 right after the first film's success, holding a full-day off-site to hash it out, but they hit a wall fast. The story rapper punsles arcs so tight from locked-up princess to fully-empowered woman that pushing more fell forced. Grino compared it to classics like Pinocchio Turning Real or the Beast Going Human once the tale's done. What's left to tell without cheapening it? Instead of stretching into a feature, they tied up the wedding loose end with a quick 6-minute short called Tangled Ever After back in 20. In 2012, that keeps the animated side closed, but the vibe lives on through a live-action remake. Michael Gracie of Greatest Showman Famederex, with Tegan Croft as Rapunzel, Milo Mannheim as Flynn Rider and Catherine Hahn owning Mother Gothel.
1:08Cameras roll this summer, eyeing theaters by mid to late 2027.
