BLACKPINK's Lisa Reportedly in Talks for Disney's Live-Action 'Tangled' Alongside Scarlett Johansson
Global K-pop sensation BLACKPINK member Lisa is reportedly being considered for a leading role in Disney's upcoming live-action adaptation of the beloved animated film, 'Tangled' (originally 'Rapunzel').
According to recent foreign media reports, Disney is actively developing the live-action version of 'Tangled'. Speculation is rife that Lisa might be cast as the titular Rapunzel, with Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson potentially taking on the role of the villainous Mother Gothel.
This development follows Disney's recent string of live-action remakes like 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Snow White,' which have seen mixed success. The studio appears to be focusing on securing fresh, globally appealing talent for its new projects.
Lisa recently made her acting debut in the third season of HBO's acclaimed series 'The White Lotus,' which aired in February. Following this foray into acting, she signed with the prominent talent agency WME and is reportedly exploring various global series and film opportunities, including potential Netflix projects.
The 'Tangled' live-action project, initially put on hold in April, has recently been revived. Michael Gracey, known for directing 'The Greatest Showman,' is expected to helm the film. Prior to Lisa, actresses like Florence Pugh and Sydney Sweeney were also rumored to be in contention for the role of Rapunzel.
Fans are expressing excitement online, with comments like 'Lisa would be a perfect Rapunzel!', 'The combination of Lisa and Scarlett Johansson sounds amazing', and 'Hoping the live-action turns out well.'
