Exclusively provided by USA Today in their larger 2025 preview, Snow White, played by Rachel Zegler (West Side Story), is being greeted by Gal Gadot’s Evil Queen. Disney’s most iconic villain has the high ground, but the first Disney Princess is soon to go on a quest to take back her kingdom from this dreadful ruler.
“Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who is the Fairest of Them All?”
Alongside that, other elements like the seven dwarfs have been updated. Some of the changes teased in the film’s marketing have received criticism, but the core cast of the remake can’t be denied. Zegler is one of Hollywood’s biggest rising stars thanks to her roles in The Hunger Games, Y2K and Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Her singing voice is also next to none which makes her the perfect person for the live-action Snow White. Films like West Side Story and Spellbound have showcased her immense talents already. Then there’s Gadot, who appears to be having the time of her life playing the Evil Queen. The actress is best known for playing the popular DC hero Wonder Woman, so it’ll be exciting to see what she ultimately brings to her first big villain role.
Snow White is releasing in theaters on March 21, 2025. The original animated classic is also streaming on Disney+ with the rest of the company’s historic catalog.
