Disney on Friday at D23 showed off the first clip from its live-action take of the 1937 animated classic Snow White, which hits theaters on March 21, 2025.
Said Gal Gadot about her onscreen antagonist, “She’s evil, she’s magical, she’s delicious.”
Rachel Zegler introduced the clip, which she told the crowd at the Honda Center was a classic. Indeed, it was her and the dwarves as she sang “Whistle While You Work.” Snow White is in the dwarves’ house, dancing and cleaning with a crystal falsetto.
They then showed off the trailer, with images of Gadot putting on the crown, doing the mirror mirorr, Zegler picking apples, and the transformation of Gadot into an evil witch. It’s a prefect, lively replication of the original movie.

The story, based on the framed Brothers Grimm tale, follows a princess who is rescued by seven dwarf miners who make Snow White part of their household after she’s exiled into a dangerous forest by her wicked stepmother.
Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man and 500 Days of Summer) directs from a script by Barbie‘s Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson, with Marc Platt producing. Tony winner Andrew Burnap is portraying a new male lead character. Original songs for the pic were penned by the Oscar-winning La La Land duo of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
