"In Tangled, Mother Gothel is the selfish, villainous antagonist who has managed to retain her youth by hoarding the healing powers of the magic golden flower. When Rapunzel was born, the powers transferred to the young child's hair, enabling it to grow to an unnatural length. In her attempts to control the power, Mother Gothel kidnaps Rapunzel and keeps her imprisoned in a tower, all while putting up a facade as her overprotective mother."
"Two months after rumours began to swirl about Hahn's involvement in the new film, the 52-year-old WandaVision star seemed to confirm the news yesterday (10 March) by adding "mother knows best" to her Instagram bio. The line references the song of the same name, which is sung by Mother Gothel in the original, animated Tangled."
"Considering her prominent role as Marvel antiheroine Agatha Harkness, social media is ablaze with people lauding Hahn's "perfect" casting as Mother Gothel. The actress has also been something of a sapphic awakening for some queer women, so there's a lot of love for her new role from the lesbian community, too."
Kathryn Hahn, the 52-year-old star of WandaVision and Agatha All Along, has been officially cast as Mother Gothel in Disney's upcoming live-action adaptation of Tangled. The casting was confirmed through Hahn's Instagram bio update referencing the villain's iconic song "Mother Knows Best," followed by official confirmation from Walt Disney Studios. Mother Gothel is the antagonist who retains her youth through a magical golden flower's healing powers, which transfer to Rapunzel's hair after her birth. She kidnaps and imprisons Rapunzel in a tower while posing as an overprotective mother. The casting has generated widespread enthusiasm on social media, particularly among queer women who appreciate Hahn's previous roles as Marvel antiheroine Agatha Harkness.
