\"The Greatest Showman\" director Michael Gracey will helm the film from a script by \"Do Revenge\" writer and director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. Kristin Burr of \"Cruella\" and \"Freakier Friday\" will produce.

Croft and Manheim will take on the characters originated by Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi in the 2010 animated feature.

There is currently no word on who will play the role of the villainous Mother Gothel, who was voiced by Donna Murphy in the original film.

Croft is best known for playing Raven in the DC Universe superhero series \"Titans,\" which ran from 2018-2023. She also starred in the 2023 Netflix biographical drama \"True Spirit,\" based on the story of real-life Australian sailor Jessica Watson.

In addition to his work in the \"Zombies\" films, Manheim is known for the Paramount+ series \"School Spirits.\"

The original \"Tangled\" was directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard, with a screenplay by Dan Fogelman. It earned approximately $582 million at the worldwide box office, according to The Numbers, a film industry data site that tracks box office revenue.

The film won a Grammy for the song \"I See the Light,\" which also earned a best original song nomination at the 83rd Academy Awards.

Other songs featured in the film included \"When Will My Life Begin?\", \"Mother Knows Best\" and \"I've Got a Dream.\"
