Deadline reported in an exclusive: “Sources tell Deadline that Gadot is in final negotiations to play the Evil Queen in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Snow White, the one that started it all for the studio’s legendary slate of animated features. Rachel Zegler is set to play the titular character, with Marc Webb directing and Marc Platt producing. Production is expected to start in 2022.”
Disney’s live-action film will expand upon the original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs animated film released in 1938 as Disney’s inaugural animated feature. With any Disney film, the music needs to be paramount. It looks as though Disney has brought in Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the Oscar and Tony-winning duo to write new songs for the movie.
