‘Snow White’ Trailer: Rachel Zegler Meets the Seven Dwarfs, Defies the Evil Queen and Showcases Her Singing

 The new trailer for Disney’s live-action remake of “Snow White” has officially released, showcasing more of Rachel Zegler’s vocals, the seven dwarfs and Gal Gadot’s villainous turn as the evil queen.

The film is directed by Marc Webb (“500 Days of Summer,” “The Amazing Spider-Man”) and is the latest Disney remake. Following the 1937 animated classic “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” this newest iteration of the story follows Snow White after the jealous wicked queen, who also happens to be her mother, orders her murder. Snow White runs away into a forest and discovers the magic of the seven dwarfs in a cottage, variety.com.

After her film breakout in Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story,” Zegler returns to sing her heart out on the big screen. Gadot stars as the evil queen alongside Andrew Burnap, Martin Klebba and Ansu Kabia. The screenplay is written by Greta Gerwig (“Barbie”) and Erin Cressida Wilson (“The Girl on the Train”).

Over the past few years, the film has already been the subject of much controversy. In January 2022, Peter Dinklage criticized the way the film depicted dwarfs, to which Disney responded with a statement saying it would be consulting the community. Since then, Zegler has been under fire from many right-wing groups after she criticized the original story for focusing so much on Snow White finding love.

In a profile piece for Variety, Zegler said “The love story is very integral. A lot of people wrote that we weren’t doing [that storyline] anymore — we were always doing that; it just wasn’t what we were talking about on that day.”

The film is set to release in theaters March 21, 2025.
