Disney’s Snow White, an upcoming American musical fantasy film, is set to hit theaters on March 21, 2025. Directed by Marc Webb, with a screenplay by Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson.
This live-action film reimagines the beloved classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which was first brought to life in a 1937 animated adaptation inspired by the Brothers Grimm’s timeless 1812 fairy tale. The movie features Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen.
The project, which was confirmed in 2016, faced several challenges and controversies, particularly around the casting choices and story changes. Filming took place primarily at Pinewood Studios in England from March to July 2022, with additional shoots in June 2024.

The decision to cast actors without dwarfism for characters traditionally depicted as dwarfs sparked significant debate, along with concerns about Rachel Zegler’s public comments during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes. Despite these challenges, the movie is eagerly anticipated by fans of the original and newcomers alike.
