Tangled II: The Sun’s Prophecy – Let Your Power Shine Once More

“The lanterns are taking flight again as the magic of the Sundrop returns in the 2026 cinematic event Tangled II: The Sun’s Prophecy, a journey that promises to unlock the final secrets of the kingdom of Corona.”

A New Chapter in the Sundrop Lore

Fans have long clamored for a theatrical sequel to the 2010 masterpiece, and Tangled II: The Sun’s Prophecy is set to deliver an epic expansion of Rapunzel’s world. While the original film focused on her escape from the tower, this 2026 “re-imagined” narrative is rumored to dive deep into the ancient celestial origins of the Sundrop Flower and its counterpart, the Moonstone. The plot follows Rapunzel and Eugene as they discover a forgotten prophecy that threatens the balance of their world, forcing them to venture far beyond the borders of Corona. This sequel aims to bridge the gap between the whimsical charm of the original and the complex, high-stakes mythology introduced in the beloved television series.

The 2026 Live-Action Re-imagining

Adding to the excitement, 2026 marks a historic milestone for the franchise with the official production of the Tangled Live-Action adaptation. In January 2026, Disney officially announced that Teagan Croft (known for Titans) and Milo Manheim (of Disney’s Zombies fame) have been cast as the lead stars, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. Directed by Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman), this re-imagining is set to utilize groundbreaking practical effects to bring Rapunzel’s 70 feet of golden hair to life. The film is expected to feature a blend of the classic Alan Menken soundtrack and brand-new musical numbers, creating a “theatrical-grade” experience that honors the legacy of the animated version while offering a grounded, breathtaking new perspective.

Why 2026 is the Year of Rapunzel

As the marketing for Tangled II: The Sun’s Prophecy and the live-action remake ramps up, the franchise is seeing a massive resurgence in global popularity. By leaning into the “Sun’s Prophecy” title, the production is catering to a more mature audience that grew up with the original, offering a story filled with mystery, destiny, and the power of choice. With its blend of breathtaking animation and high-fantasy storytelling, the 2026 return to the world of Tangled is poised to dominate the box office and capture the hearts of a new generation. Whether it’s through the glowing lanterns or the call of the prophecy, the magic of the golden hair is truly forever.
