The casting of any film has the potential to make or break any film, and the same applies when Disney decides to give one of their beloved animated classics the live-action treatment. With actors such as Emma Watson, Elle Fanning, and Halle Bailey playing iconic main characters, the characters must be able to achieve the same level of chemistry with the villain of their respective film. According to Variety, the famous Kathryn Hahn is dipping her toes into portraying another villain in a Disney project by playing Mother Gothel in the live-action Tangled.
Well-known for her comedic timing and larger-than-life stage presence, Kathryn Hahn has the power to command the same level of fear and authority her animated counterpart does. Mother Gothel’s villain song Mother Knows Best subtly lulls Rapunzel into a false sense of safety while the audience is wise to her deceit and quiet manipulation. Hahn’s “hot streak” of starring in Disney+’s Agatha, Apple’s The Studio, and David O. Russell’s upcoming John Madden biopic, Madden, the casting of Kathryn Hahn has the potential to make an already great Disney villain greater. Portraying a woman posing as “an overprotective guardian” to Rapunzel to stay young and beautiful, while keeping her hidden away from the world has been met with favorable reactions. Donna Murphy would be proud to pass the torch.
