The original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was Disney's first full-length animated film released in 1937. Over 85 years later, the creative team promises an updated version of the classic fairy tale.
In this version, Rachel Zegler stars as Snow White, and Gal Gadot plays The Evil Queen. Ansu Kabia appears as the Huntsman while Andrew Burnap takes on the role of a new character named Jonathan.
The Seven Dwarfs have been reimagined for this remake.
Notably, the film will focus more on Snow White's journey to becoming a leader with less emphasis on the traditional romantic plot.

Marc Webb, director of The Amazing Spider-Man films and other movies, helms Snow White.
The script is a collaboration between Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson.
