According to entertainment industry news, Lisa (Blackpink) is being considered to take on the role of "cloud-haired princess" Rapunzel in a live- action version of the famous Disney animated film "Tangled".
The Blackpink singer competed with other actresses such as Sarah Catherine Hook, Aimee Lou Wood, Charlotte Le Bon and Sydney sweeney.
After struggling with the live- action version of Bach Tuyet featuring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, Disney seems to be looking for a big star to attract audiences and generate revenue. In which, Lisa is a potential candidate.
Lisa made her acting debut last year in the hit HBO series "The White Lotus 3". Although she only played a supporting role, the female idol received many positive reviews for her acting.
The audience even thought that the producer was wasting Lisa's potential because her filming time was too little compared to expectations.
Lisa's next project after "The White Lotus 3" is attracting fans.
Disney has not responded to the news that Lisa plays Rapunzel. But it is reported that actor scarlett Johansson has recently been cast as Gothel, the villain who locked up Rapunzel in the tower.
The media said that Lisa may be aiming for a big breakthrough in Hollywood.
In September, LLOUD announced that Lisa had signed a contract with WME (William Morris Endeavor), a leading talent management company based in Hollywood. The WME will represent Lisa in her acting activities, as she continues to build her career in the film and television industry.
Since the beginning of 2025, Lisa has actively participated in many film events. She attended the Oscar Awards in March, both appearing on the red carpet and being one of the performing artists.
In September, Lisa attended the Emmy Awards and walked the red carpet of the Busan International Film Festival (Korea). The female idol has gradually become familiar with the film industry, creating opportunities to interact with resources in this industry.
However, some viewers are also worried about Lisa being considered for the movie Tangled.
Because before that, Disney had had many failed and controversial live- action projects such as "The Fairy Sister", "Mulan", "Bach Tuyet". One of the reasons is that the cast was chosen inappropriately and the changes were too different from the original.
Actress Rachel Zegler was once opposed when playing Bach Tuyet, because her brown skin was not in line with the fairy tale's description of "white skin like snow". Disneys choice of color-skinned actress Halle Bailey to play the fairy tale also received strong backlash.
Rapunzel is a famous character with long hair, so the news that Asian actors like Lisa were targeted for this role has caused controversy.
