In the clip, the actress appears wearing a black T-shirt printed with the name Mother Gothel while joking about her “outfit of the day”.\n\n> View this post on Instagram \n\n\n\n\n“Hey, OOTD – just found out what that stands for,” Hahn says in the video. “So here’s my outfit of the day: simple jeans, glasses, T-shirt… easy. You know, just another day.”\n\nThe post was captioned “OOTD, Mother Gothel”, while Hahn also updated her Instagram bio to read “mother knows best”, referencing the villain’s well-known song from the original animated film.\n\nThe casting adds another high-profile role to Hahn’s growing list of standout performances. The actress has recently gained renewed popularity following her appearances in Marvel projects including _WandaVision_ and the series _Agatha All Along_.\n\nDisney’s live-action _Tangled_ will star Teagan Croft as Rapunzel, while Milo Manheim, known for Disney Channel’s _Zombies_ films, will portray Flynn Rider.\n\nThe film will be directed by Michael Gracey, best known for _The Greatest Showman_. The screenplay is written by _Do Revenge_ filmmaker Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, with _Cruella_ producer Kristin Burr attached to produce.\n\nReleased in 2010, the animated _Tangled_ was directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard and became a major success for Disney, earning more than $592 million worldwide at the box office.\n\nThe film’s song ‘I See the Light’ went on to win a Grammy Award and was nominated for best original song at the Academy Awards.\n\nDisney has increasingly turned its animated classics into live-action remakes in recent years, and the studio is hoping _Tangled_ will follow the success of previous adaptations as it brings Rapunzel’s story back to the big screen.\n\nThe post Kathryn Hahn cast as Mother Gothel in Disney’s live-action ‘Tangled’ appeared first on HUM News.",
