Disney's Live-Action 'Snow White' Trailer Unveils Rachel Zegler as the Iconic Princess

The highly anticipated live-action adaptation of Disney's iconic "Snow White" is set to bring the beloved 1937 animated classic to a new generation. Directed by Marc Webb, known for "500 Days of Summer" and "The Amazing Spider-Man" films, this retelling stars Rachel Zegler as the titular princess and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen.

The first official trailer, unveiled at the D23 Expo, offers a glimpse into the film's mix of nostalgia and innovation. While it faithfully recreates some of the most memorable scenes from the original, such as the eerie forest sequence, the film also introduces new elements, including original songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, known for their work on "La La Land" and "The Greatest Showman."

The trailer prominently features the classic song "Whistle While You Work," evoking the charm of the original while promising a fresh experience. Zegler, who gained fame for her role in "West Side Story," is set to bring her powerful vocal talents to the role of Snow White, while Gadot, with her striking presence, looks poised to deliver a captivating performance as the Evil Queen.

Given the legacy of the original "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," which was Disney's first-ever feature film and a landmark in the history of animation, expectations are high for this live-action adaptation. Fans are eager to see if Webb's vision will live up to the classic or if it will face the challenges of reviving such an iconic story.

The film is slated for release in March 2025, and with its combination of star power, nostalgic elements, and new creative touches, it aims to be a standout in Disney's series of live-action remakes.
