Disney unveils first look of its 'Snow White' live-action remake at D23 ... (The Hindu)

The maiden glimpse of Zegler as Snow White and Gadot's Evil Queen was shared in a 30-second teaser of the film.

As somebody who has been a Disney fan, Zegler said essaying the role of Snow White was a “dream come true”. “Snow White” features Andrew Burnap as Snow White’s love interest and Martin Klebba as Grumpy, one of the seven dwarfs. The new film is based on 1937’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” Disney’s first feature film and the world’s first full-length animated movie.

'We don't want it, thanks!': Rachel Zegler's Diverse Snow White Gets ... (Fandomwire)

Snow White's apparent change in skin color in the upcoming live-action remake has driven fans crazy, and Rachel Zegler can't put out the fire at all.

Most of them are pretty much against the race swap of Snow White with Zegler, who is a Latina in real-life. And it was great to explore all of those differences, and to sing, and to dance. Despite her emotional description of what Snow White can be like, fans of the popular Disney character were not on the same page as Zegler. In all honesty, it does seem like Disney is overstretching a bit too far with the race swapping, which was unnecessary. A live-action adaptation of the movie is one that every little Disney-loving child would love to see, but fans who are of age have pretty much discredited the remake for casting a non-white actress as Snow White. The upcoming live-action Snow White will have Rachel Zegler of West Side Story play the titular character of the movie.
