Gal Gadot, known for her role as Wonder Woman, is set to take on a darker character in Disney's live-action remake of Snow White. At the D23 expo, fans were treated to a teaser trailer featuring Gadot as the Evil Queen, who schemes against the Disney princess to become the fairest in the land. Gadot expressed her excitement about playing a villain, describing the experience as fun and different from her previous roles.
The upcoming remake stays true to the original animated film, with familiar character designs and costumes. Snow White holds a special place in Disney history, being the studio's first feature-length project that achieved immense success at the box office. The 1937 film set a record for animated movies and remains one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time.
However, the remake has faced criticism from some in Hollywood. Actor Peter Dinklage raised concerns about the portrayal of dwarfs in the story, questioning the progressive nature of casting decisions while maintaining outdated stereotypes. Disney responded by stating they had consulted with members of the dwarfism community during the film's development.
Snow White is scheduled for release on March 21, 2025, and promises to bring a fresh perspective to the classic tale. Fans can anticipate a new take on the beloved story, with Gal Gadot's portrayal of the Evil Queen adding a captivating twist to the narrative.
