Kathryn Hahn has officially been cast as the villainous Mother Gothel in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of “Tangled,” the studio confirmed on Tuesday, March 10.
On Instagram, Hahn shared a collaborative post with Walt Disney Studios. In the video post, he shows off a T-shirt featuring several images of Mother Gothel from the 2010 film, with the text “Mother Gothel” printed in gold font.
Hahn says, “Hey! OOTD! I just found out what that means. So here’s my outfit for the day. Simple jeans, glasses, and t-shirt. This is easy. You know, just another day.”
She captioned it: “OOTD, Mother Gothel” and updated her bio to say “mother knows best.”
Casting has been in line with speculation since January, with Hahn in talks for the role. She joins Australian actress Teagan Croft, who will play Rapunzel, and Milo Manheim, star of Disney Channel’s “Zombies” franchise, who will play the charming rogue Flynn Rider.
The film is directed by Michael Gracey, who previously directed “The Greatest Showman,” written by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and produced by Kristin Burr.
The original animated series, released in 2010, grossed more than $582 million worldwide and won a Grammy for the song “I See the Light,” which also has an Oscar nomination.
