Gal Gadot Hints About Her "Deliciously" Wicked Portrayal Of The Evil Queen In Snow White

The 1937 Disney animated film and the original Brothers Grimm fairy tale served as inspiration for the upcoming live-action Snow White movie. Directed by Marc Webb and written by Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson, the film offers a fresh interpretation of the well-known tale.

Halle Bailey starred in the live-action rendition of The Little Mermaid, which was recently released by Walt Disney Studios. Now, their upcoming live-action adaptation of Snow White has taken center stage.

Gal Gadot, renowned for her portrayal of Wonder Woman, plays the Evil Queen, with Rachel Zegler in the title role of Snow White. Gadot has expressed her enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the joy of portraying a Disney villain in a musical.

"I don't have a preferred type of character. I think it was so much fun to play the Evil Queen. There was something so delicious about this role because it's a fairy tale. It's the first Disney villain.

And because it's a musical, I could stretch my performance and make it so much more dramatic and animated; it was simply delightful. I enjoyed it, changed my voice, and experimented with different elements. It was just super fun, and I can't wait to watch it. I can't wait to see how it all turns out."

The controversy over Snow White's traditional representation as a white princess in the animated version erupted as news of Rachel Zegler's casting spread. The criticism of this casting decision mirrors the debate over Halle Bailey's portrayal of a Black Ariel in The Little Mermaid.

Zegler was surprised by the opportunity, but she is excited about the chance to use this role to showcase her acting skills.

Sean Bailey, President of Production at Walt Disney Pictures, shared insights on the planned live-action remake of Snow White when it was first announced.

"We were given an incredible opportunity to explore what we wanted to be as a live-action team. We were afforded a lot of latitude to consider what that was. We thought if Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America are Marvel superheroes, then perhaps Alice, Cinderella, Mowgli, and Belle are our superheroes, while Cruella and Maleficent are our supervillains. Maybe if there's a way to reconnect with the affinity for what those characters mean to people in a manner that attracts the best talent and utilizes the best technology, that could become something truly exciting. It feels very Disney, playing to the competitive advantages of this brand."
