In a brand new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kathryn Hahn was asked about her Golden Globe nomination for Agatha All Along, where she's been nominated for 'Best Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy'. Reacting to the nomination, Kathryn said: "I love this witch. I mean Agatha is everything you want as an actor in one part."

Kathryn was then told about people fan-casting her as Mother Gothel and asked if she would be interested in playing the role in the live-action Tangled. Reacting in shock and delight, Kathryn said: "I mean I'm really good at karaoke."

However, she then joked: "Singing next to Patti LuPone really humbles you."

Kathryn Hahn isn't the only person who's said they would be up for starring in a live-action Tangled. In 2022, Never Have I Ever's Maitreyi Ramakrishnan tweeted: "I’ve made it like really clear that like Rapunzel IS my dream role… right? Like we know this… right????"

Meanwhile, Ghostbusters' McKenna Grace told Capital Buzz earlier this year: "[Playing Rapunzel] was always my dream growing up. Tangled is one of my all time favourite films. It's so bad, I'm so obsessed."
