For Lisa, this role would mark a significant expansion of her career from music to leading Hollywood film roles.
Thai singer and actress Lalisa Manobal (commonly known as Lisa of BLACKPINK) is reportedly in discussions to play the iconic role of Rapunzel in Tangled’s upcoming live-action adaptation. The casting news has ignited a wave of fan reactions—some cheering her “true princess” presence, others questioning whether the casting aligns with the character’s original look and story.
The live-action remake, directed by Michael Gracey and scripted by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, is part of The Walt Disney Company’s growing slate of live-action fairy-tale projects. While the story of the animated 2010 version remains a beloved classic, Disney has not yet officially confirmed its lead casting or release timeline.
For Lisa, this role would mark a significant expansion of her career from music to leading Hollywood film roles. Her global super-star status, strong fanbase and screen presence are cited as strengths that supporters say make her ideal for the part. However, critics point to the original character’s European-rooted design and vocal demands as potential challenges.
Despite the debate, fan enthusiasm is palpable. On social media, fans label her the “real princessRapunzel”, celebrating her elegance, charisma and crossover appeal. The coming months may bring official confirmation, but for now the speculation around Lisa and Rapunzel remains one of 2025’s most talked-about casting possibilities.
