Zachary Levi has suggested Timothée Chalamet should play Flynn Rider in a potential live-action adaptation of Tangled . The Shazam actor said that he feels too “old” for the role of the Disney prince and Chalamet suits the character. “I mean, he is already getting every other job, but probably Timothée Chalamet,” Levi said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the Los Angeles premiere of Harold and the Purple Crayon .
“Unfortunately I feel like I’m a little old and I don’t know all of the younger actors that could be that guy.” Levi voiced Flynn Rider in Tangled , the animated retelling of Rapunzel released in 2010. Mandy Moore voiced Rapunzel and Donna Murphy voiced Mother Gothel.
“I think it would be fun if Mandy and I got to be Rapunzel’s parents,” Levi said. “I think that would be a really fun little cameo for us to pop in to.” While Disney hasn’t announced a Tangled live-action adaptation, Levi has previously pitched himself for the role of Flynn Rider.
Levi said at the Chicago Fan Expo in August 2023 that he had heard rumours about Florence Pugh playing Rapunzel, and that he should play Rider. “There was this thing floating around the internet, I just saw it, somebody sent it to me, that Florence Pugh potentially might play the role of Rapunzel. And If Florence plays Rapunzel, what about me? Which would also be a trip because my real last name is Pugh, p-u-g-h, Zachary Levi Pugh, so you’d have in Tangled .
Come on!” Public o.
