Exciting news for Disney fans! Our beloved classic, Snow White, is making a comeback in a live-action format, and it is stirring up quite the conversation. Rachel Zegler, the film’s lead, recently addressed the buzz surrounding her portrayal of Snow White and confirmed rumors of reshoots. Dressed in a vibrant costume and surrounded by the charming seven dwarfs, Zegler revealed significant changes from the original 1937 animation.
Expressing her desire to shake things up, Zegler shares, “It’s no longer 1937… she’s not going to be saved by the prince, and she’s not going to be dreaming about true love; she’s going to be dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be.” This modern twist on the iconic tale reflects Disney’s evolving approach to storytelling, prioritizing empowering narratives.
The production has faced some turbulence, from criticism aimed at Zegler’s comments about the original film to unexpected reshoots. However, these adjustments are common in larger studio productions, aiming to perfect the final cut. Initially set for a spring release, Snow White’s premiere has been postponed to March 21, 2025.
Gal Gadot, playing the Evil Queen, recently confirmed the reshoots via her Instagram with a behind-the-scenes snap, captioned, “Feels good to be back!” Fans are eagerly awaiting their first look, with teasers and trailers expected to release later this year.
This revitalization of Snow White is part of a broader trend, with Disney also preparing a live-action Moana and a sequel/prequel for The Lion King, titled Mufasa. As these projects unfold, anticipation builds. What are your thoughts on these remakes? Are you excited to see how these classics are reimagined? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
