Kathryn Hahn chose an unusual yet captivating way to announce her role as Mother Gothel.

In an Instagram video she uploaded, Hahn is seen wearing a t-shirt featuring Mother Gothel, the antagonist from the 2010 animated film Tangled, previously voiced by Donna Murphy.

She casually introduced her outfit for the day, saying, "Hey, OOTD, I just found out what that means. So this is my outfit today," before stepping back to reveal the t-shirt, implicitly confirming her role.

This approach immediately caught the attention of the public and media.Furthermore, Hahn also changed her Instagram username to "@motherhahn" and updated her bio with the phrase "mother knows best" accompanied by a mirror emoji, further reinforcing the message of her announcement.

The official Walt Disney Studios account also shared the video with a caption confirming Hahn's role, "You want her to be the bad guy? OK. Kathryn Hahn is Mother Gothel in Disney's live-action Tangled."

Mother Gothel is one of the most iconic antagonists in the Disney universe, depicted as a highly arrogant and manipulative woman.

Her primary motivation is to maintain eternal beauty and youth, which she gains from the magical healing powers of a golden flower.

When the flower's power transfers to Rapunzel's hair, Gothel unhesitatingly kidnaps the infant princess and imprisons her.

She then raises Rapunzel in a remote tower for eighteen years.

During this time, Mother Gothel pretends to be Rapunzel's biological mother, solely to exploit the magical power of Rapunzel's long hair to maintain her youth.

Gothel's complex character, both possessive mother and ruthless villain, presents an interesting challenge for any actress who portrays her.

Kathryn Hahn will join the star-studded cast of Disney's live-action Tangled film.

Teagan Croft has been confirmed to play Rapunzel, the long-haired princess trapped in a tower.Meanwhile, Milo Manheim will play Flynn Rider, a charismatic villain who becomes Rapunzel's love interest and helps her escape.

This combination of actors is expected to bring the character dynamics to life beautifully.

The live-action adaptation will be directed by Michael Gracey, who previously worked on the musical The Greatest Showman.

The screenplay for Disney's live-action Tangled film was written by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, known for her work on films such as Thor: Love and Thunder and Do Revenge.
