Zachary Levi Endorses Timothee Chalamet for Live-Action Tangled

Entertainment World

Zachary Levi, renowned for voicing Flynn Rider in Disney’s beloved animated film “Tangled,” has shared his top pick for the character in a potential live-action remake: Timothee Chalamet.

During the premiere of his latest film, “Harold and the Purple Crayon,” Levi playfully suggested Chalamet as the ideal actor to bring the charming rogue to life. “I mean, he’s already getting every other job, but probably Timothee Chalamet?” Levi quipped in an interview with ET.

Levi’s portrayal of the animated Flynn Rider has left a lasting legacy, but he acknowledges that he might not be the best fit for a live-action version due to the age difference. “Unfortunately, I feel like I’m a little old… and that I don’t know all of the younger actors that could be that guy,” he admitted with a chuckle.

Timothee Chalamet, who recently starred in “Wonka” and is set to play Bob Dylan in the upcoming biopic “A Complete Unknown,” might have a busy schedule. Despite this, Levi is confident that the “Dune” star possesses the charisma and roguish charm necessary to portray Flynn Rider on the big screen.

While Disney has not officially announced plans for a live-action “Tangled,” Levi’s casting suggestion has certainly ignited the imaginations of fans. The prospect of Chalamet stepping into the shoes of the dashing Flynn Rider has generated buzz and excitement.

As fans eagerly await any news of a “Tangled” live-action adaptation, they can look forward to seeing Zachary Levi in “Harold and the Purple Crayon,” which hits theaters on August 2nd. The film, based on the beloved children’s book, promises to showcase Levi’s versatile acting skills and further cement his status as a talented performer.

For now, the idea of Timothee Chalamet as Flynn Rider remains a tantalizing possibility. Whether or not it comes to fruition, Zachary Levi’s endorsement has added an intriguing layer to the ongoing discussion about casting for Disney’s live-action adaptations. Fans will undoubtedly keep their fingers crossed for any updates, hoping to see Chalamet bring his unique charm to the role of Flynn Rider.
