'Tangled': Kathryn Hahn in talks to play Mother Gothel; fans hail casting as 'PERFECT'

Kathryn Hahn may soon be switching up her tune from 'Witches' Road' to 'Mother Knows Best' with her possible casting as the Disney villain, Mother Gothel. The actress, who made quite the impression with her turn as the witch Agatha Harkness in Marvel's 'Agatha All Along', is reportedly in talks to play Mother Gothel in Walt Disney Pictures’ live-action adaptation of 'Tangled', Variety has confirmed. While no deal has been finalised as yet, should Hahn land the role, she would join previously announced leads Teagan Croft as Rapunzel and Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider. The character of Mother Gothel is the lead antagonist in the original 2010 animated film. She plays the role of the witch who kidnaps baby Rapunzel, while secretly using her magical hair to preserve her youth. News of Hahn’s possible casting sparked excitement online, with fans taking to their handles to celebrate the possible casting. One said, “I need Kathryn Hahn to be cast as Mother GOTHEL IMMEDIATELY,” while another wrote, “Kathryn Hahn's casting as Mother Gothel is literally perfect.” One fan gushed, “Girl, it's gonna be AMAZING! Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel… that woman was born for this role.” Others said, “i need to make a gif of this to show the doubters EXACTLY why kathryn hahn is perfect for the role of mother gothel because the switch from normal to absolutely sinister in this scene was insane,” and “the kathryn hahn fandom and KATHRYN HAHN FANDOM ONLY did THAT.”
