Global superstar and Blackpink member Lisa is reportedly a strong candidate for the lead role in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of ‘Tangled’. Reports from US-based media outlet Allkpop on November 6, 2025, have ignited excitement among fans, positioning the K-pop idol actress as a frontrunner to play Rapunzel. This speculation marks another significant step in Lisa’s burgeoning Hollywood career, following her successful acting debut.
The Disney Live-Action ‘Tangled’ Casting Buzz
The ‘Tangled’ project, which was temporarily put on hold in April 2025, has recently resumed production, sparking intense speculation about its cast. According to the reports, Lisa is not the only star being considered for the iconic long-haired princess. Acclaimed actresses Florence Pugh and Sydney Sweeney are also named as potential candidates for the role, setting up a highly anticipated casting decision. The Disney live-action project is quickly taking shape, with reports also suggesting that Scarlett Johansson has been cast as the villainous Mother Gothel.
A New K-Pop Idol Actress for a Disney Princess?
The possibility of Lisa taking on the role of Rapunzel has been met with positive reactions, with many believing her global appeal and on-stage charisma make her an ideal choice. If the ‘Tangled’ casting materializes, Lisa would become one of the most prominent K-pop stars to lead a major Disney production, further bridging the gap between the Korean entertainment industry and Hollywood. Her potential involvement continues to fuel conversations about representation in mainstream media.
BLACKPINK Lisa’s Acting Career Expansion
This latest casting rumor follows a series of high-profile acting moves for the Blackpink star. Lisa made her official acting debut in the HBO drama ‘The White Lotus Season 3’, where she played a hotel employee named Mook. Her performance in the critically acclaimed series demonstrated her potential as a serious actress, opening doors for more opportunities. The rise of K-pop idols in global productions is changing the landscape of what defines top representative K-Dramas and international series alike.
From HBO to Netflix and Beyond
Beyond her confirmed role in the HBO series, Lisa’s momentum in Hollywood shows no signs of slowing down. She is also currently reviewing an offer to star in the upcoming Netflix film ‘Extraction: Taigo’. Juggling these major projects from top-tier streaming services like HBO and Netflix, alongside the potential for a leading role in a Disney live-action film, solidifies Lisa’s position as a sought-after talent on the global stage. While Disney has yet to make an official announcement, the entertainment world is watching closely to see if Lisa will indeed let down her golden hair as the next Rapunzel.
