Disney's upcoming live-action remake of Snow White is set to debut in theaters on March 21, 2025. The project has drawn considerable attention since its announcement, with Rachel Zegler's casting as the titular princess sparking heated discussion.
Controversy escalated in 2023 after remarks Zegler made in 2022 resurfaced online, reigniting debate surrounding the film. Criticism has extended to various aspects of the production, including the use of CGI for the dwarfs, Gal Gadot's portrayal of the Evil Queen, and Disney's low-profile promotional approach. The film's first major event, originally planned for London, was instead held in Segovia, Spain.
As the release date nears, Disney has confirmed the full cast for Snow White. The roster includes:
– Rachel Zegler as Snow White
– Emilia Faucher as Young Snow White
– Olivia Verrall as Baby Snow White
– Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen
– Andrew Burnap as Jonathan
– Patrick Page as the Magic Mirror
– Ansu Kabia as the Huntsman
– Andrew Barth Feldman as Dopey/Narrator
– Tituss Burgess as Bashful
– Martin Klebba as Grumpy
– Jason Kravits as Sneezy
– George Salazar as Happy
– Jeremy Swift as Doc
– Andy Grotelueschen as Sleepy
– George Appleby as Quigg
– Colin Carmichael as Farno
– Dujonna Gift as Maple
– Samuel Baxter as Scythe
– Jimmy Johnston as Finch
– Idriss Kargbo as Bingley
– Jaih Betote as Norwich
This expanded cast suggests the film will delve deeper into Snow White's story, incorporating new characters and showing more of her early life with multiple actresses portraying her at different stages.
Marc Webb directs the film with a screenplay by Erin Cressida Wilson. While early rumors suggested *Barbie*'s Greta Gerwig co-wrote the script, the Writers Guild of America directory confirms Wilson will receive sole credit. Gerwig, along with Jez Butterworth, Steven Levenson, Jeffrey Nathanson, Victoria Strouse, and Chris Weitz, is credited with “Additional Literary Material” for their contributions.
