Snow White First Look: Rachel Zegler and the Seven Dwarfs Join Forces in Disney’s Live Action Movie
Disney has given us a sneak peek at the highly anticipated live-action remake of “Snow White.” In a captivating image Rachel Zegler beautifully transforms into the iconic Disney Princess joined by her Seven Dwarfs. However there’s been a change in the film’s release date; originally set for March 22 2024 it’s now slated to hit the screens on March 21 2025.
Zegler takes the lead as Snow White with Gal Gadot portraying The Evil Queen. Ansu Kabia joins the cast as the Huntsman and Andrew Burnap introduces us to a new character Jonathan. Notably this remake reimagines the Seven Dwarfs and diverges from the source material with Zegler sharing that the focus will shift away from the romantic subplot. Instead it will emphasize Snow White’s transformation into the leader her father always believed she could be.
Furthermore Zegler’s casting as Snow White holds special significance as she will be the first Latina to step into this iconic role. While this change has stirred some online criticism due to its deviation from the original storyline it also promises a fresh and modern take on the classic fairy tale.
The original “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” graced screens in 1937 and marked Disney’s debut as a creator of feature-length animated films. Now over 85 years later the cast and crew behind the remake are poised to offer audiences an updated rendition of this timeless story.
Rachel Zegler made her mark as Maria in Steven Spielberg’s 2021 adaptation of the beloved musical “West Side Story” earning recognition as a breakout star in the world of acting and singing. She continued to impress audiences with her appearance in “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” and is all set to shine in “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.”
Directing the new “Snow White” is Marc Webb known for his work on “The Amazing Spider-Man” movies “500 Days of Summer” (2009) “Gifted” (2017) and “The Only Living Boy in New York” (2017). The script for this enchanting remake was a collaboration between Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson. Notably Wilson has contributed her screenwriting talents to films like “Secretary” (2002) and “The Girl on the Train” (2016) while Gerwig is celebrated for her scriptwriting and co-writing on her directorial projects including “Lady Bird” (2017) “Little Women” (2019) and the upcoming “Barbie” (2023).
With this new take on “Snow White” Disney’s audience can anticipate a fresh and imaginative spin on a beloved classic while still preserving the magic of the original fairy tale.
