'Snow White' first look: Disney reveals Rachel Zegler as live-action princess, delays film

Disney has released the first image of the live-action "Snow White," with Rachel Zegler transformed to the iconic princess from the 1937 animated classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."
Amid the ongoing actor's strike, Disney also announced that the Marc Webb-directed film will be delayed one year from coming to theaters, moving from March 22, 2024, to March 21, 2025.
The seven dwarfs have all been re-imagined for the live-action re-make, a source of some controversy from purists. But the characters Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy and Sneezy are all in the group photo (Disney listed the names in the caption alphabetically).
Not pictured in the first look: Gal Gadot as the famed Evil Queen.
The movie will feature the "beloved" songs from the original, as well as new songs from "The Greatest Showman's" song-writing team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, according to the Disney blog post.
Zegler has owned the changes made to the live-action version, which also de-emphasizes Snow White's longing for The Prince.
"People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it's like, yeah, it is – because it needed that," Zegler told Vanity Fair in 2022. "It's an 85-year-old cartoon, and our version is a refreshing story about a young woman who has a function beyond 'Someday My Prince Will Come.'"

Zegler broke out as Maria in Steven Spielberg’s 2021 adaptation of “West Side Story" and next stars in November's “The Hungers Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes."
Disney also announced Friday that Pixar's March animated film "Elio" was moving back a year, from March 1, 2024, to a June 13, 2025, release date.
