Star Wars’ Diego Luna is about to make his princess movie debut.
Having wrapped his role in Star Wars’ Andor TV series, it was announced that Luna has joined Disney’s live-action remake of Tangled.
Released in 2010, the animated film based on the Brothers Grimm fairytale is an action-packed retelling of the story of Rapunzel. Variety reported that Luna will appear “in an all-new role that’s been created for the film, but there’s a decent chance his character will appreciate an impressive coiffure.”
Luna made his debut in Disney’s Star Wars as Cassian Andor in the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In his most recent Disney role, Luna reprised his character for the two-season Andor Disney+ show. The story takes place before Rogue One, following Cassian in the years leading up to joining Jyn Erso alongside the Rebellion.

Disney’s upcoming Tangled remake will also star Milo Manheim of Zombies fame and Marvel’s Kathryn Hahn. Manheim will star as Flynn Rider, while Hahn will be playing the villain, Mother Gothel.
"Too grateful to put into words," Manheim posted on his Instagram story after his casting announcement. "I will do him justice I promise."
While fans wait to see who Luna will play in the upcoming film, they’ve taken to social media to guess who he might be.
“Please tell me he’s Pascal,” one fan joked, referring to Rapunzel’s chameleon sidekick.
“He might be playing Rapunzel’s father, which sounds ridiculous, but he could be a new character,” another said.
The Hollywood Reporter announced that Tangled will begin filming in June in Spain. Check out their cast announcement here:
