‘Snow White’ Remake Starring Rachel Zegler Releases Official Trailer

Live-action remake “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” has released a trailer.

The new Snow White, Rachel Zegler and the new Evil Queen (Gal Gadot) were both on hand at D23 to address the crowd. “Its been the honor of a lifetime,” Zegler said of taking on the princess role. “I think any young person, any little girl if you get to put on a Disney princess dress and be her for a day let alone six months… it’s just been the most amazing experience and I cant wait to share it with you all.”

“It was a lot of fun to get to do something that is completely different than anything I’ve ever done before,” Gadot said on playing the iconic Evil Queen. “She’s delicious, she’s evil, she’s magical. We got to sing all these different songs. It was incredible.”

Disney previously unveiled a first look image for the show that depicted Zegler as Snow White with her signature bob haircut, surrounded by the group of seven dwarfs.

Directed by Marc Webb (“The Amazing Spider-Man”), “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” features a reimagining of the original 1937 animated film. The original is centered on young Snow White, who flees the castle after her stepmother, the Evil Queen, becomes so jealous of her beauty that she orders the Huntsman to kill her. The Huntsman fails to do so, and Snow White escapes to a cottage where she finds seven dwarves.

Discovering that Snow White is still alive, the Evil Queen visits her at the cottage and gives her a poisoned apple. Upon being poisoned, Snow White is later awoken by a prince’s true love’s kiss.

In the remake, Ansu Kabia stars as the Huntsman, and Andrew Burnap plays the new role of Jonathan. Although songs from the original movie will be featured, songwriting duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul have also crafted new songs just for the reboot.

During the 2022 D23 Expo, Zegler and Gadot spoke to Variety on the red carpet about this adaptation’s differences.

When asked about the “modern edge” of the “Snow White” remake, Zegler and Gadot both mentioned that Zegler’s Snow White will not be saved by the prince.

“[Snow White’s] not gonna be dreaming about true love. She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave and true,” Zegler stated. “And so it’s just a really incredible story for young people everywhere to see themselves in.”

“We got to work with such an amazing crew and it was just the best it could ever be,” Gadot said of the filming experience. “I feel so lucky that I got to play something that is so far from what I know and what I’m used to, and I super, super enjoyed every second of it.”

The film was originally set to release on March 22, 2024, but has since been delayed to March 21, 2025, due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
