Diego Luna cast in Disney's live-action Tangled
Diego Luna has been cast in Disney's live-action remake of Tangled as a new character created for the film. Production is scheduled to begin in Spain this June, and the cast includes Teagan Croft, Milo Manheim and Kathryn Hahn. Luna, coming off his role in Andor, will play a mystery character not present in the 2010 animated original. The casting matters because adding a high-profile actor in an original role suggests the remake will expand Corona's world and alter the story's dynamics.
