The magic of Disney’s live-action movies continues to enchant audiences worldwide, and the upcoming reimagining of the classic “Snow White” promises to be no exception. Fans were treated to a first look at actress Rachel Zegler in the iconic role of Snow White, but they will have to wait a bit longer to see the movie on the big screen, as Disney has announced a delay in the premiere date due to the ongoing actors’ strike.
A recently released photo showcases Rachel Zegler in full costume as Snow White, standing alongside the beloved dwarfs: Dopey, Grumpy, Sneezy, Bashful, Happy, Sleepy, and Doc. The image captures the essence of the classic tale while also hinting at the new direction the live-action version will take.
The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Disney has decided to push back the release date of the movie to March 21, 2025, a whole year later than initially planned, due to the ongoing actors’ strike. This news comes as a disappointment to fans who were eagerly awaiting the film. Still, it also highlights the importance of resolving the strike and ensuring fair conditions for all involved in the movie industry.
Rachel Zegler, who recently portrayed Maria in “West Side Story,” will be joined by a star-studded cast in “Snow White.” Gal Gadot is set to play the Evil Queen, while Tony-winner Andrew Burnap will take on a new male lead character. Additionally, the film will feature new songs written by the Tony and Academy Award-winning composing duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and will be directed by Marc Webb.
The anticipation for Disney’s live-action “Snow White” continues to build, and while fans may be disappointed by the delay, the first look at Rachel Zegler in the title role has only heightened the excitement. With a talented cast and crew, as well as new songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the movie promises to be a fresh and exciting take on the beloved classic. As we wait for the premiere, we can look forward to seeing Zegler in “The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” the upcoming prequel to “The Hunger Games.”
