Cinderella, The Jungle Book, The Little Mermaid, Dumbo or even Beauty and the Beast, the story of Snow White will be next. to be adapted by Disney for a live-action remake. If the film caused a lot of ink to flow a few weeks ago, it should reconnect with its spectators thanks to; these first photos of Rachel Zegler in the heroïs costume which have just leaked on the Web!
Snow Whitein live-action, why is it controversial even before its release
Why rack your brains when you can enjoy a success already? existing? For the past few years, the franchise with Mickey’s ears has been adapting many of its classics to offer them new live-action versions. Aladdin, The Lion King, Dumbo and Beauty and the Beasthave paid the price, if only to name a few. Coming soon, remakes of The Little Mermaid and Snow White will see the light of day, two of the favorite princesses. loved by Disney fans.
Recently, Snow White got together. in turmoil for two reasons. The first concerns the casting announcement for Rachel Zegler. If this young actress has already proven in West Side Story and will soon be in the sequel toShazam!, she was; strongly criticized during her casting because of… her ethnic origins. Outraged by the hateful comments that polluted Twitter, the actress was quick to to react to this unjustified polemic :
Never in my life have I ever imagined that çit could be a possibility for me. Normally, you don’t see a Snow White of Latin origin, although Snow White is really very popular in Spanish-speaking countries. Blanca Nieves is a huge icon, whether it’s the cartoon; from Disney, or various iterations, of the Brothers Grimm tale and all the stories that go with it.
< /blockquote> “But you don’t often see people who look like me or who are like me to play this kind of role. When it was announced, it was a huge thing trending on twitter for days cause all the people were pissed. do that I’m really excited about. I’m going to be a latina princess“, she added.
The other reason that put the live-action film in turmoil, this is the story around the seven dwarfs. Their introduction was heavily criticized by Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage, who deemed the franchise to be “progressive if it continued to tell this backward tale”< /em>. To avoid reinforcing stereotypes, Disney decided to to consult “members of the dwarfism community”and not to feature any dwarves in the live-action version. Eventually, it will be alongside “magical creatures” that Snow White will go a long way.
The first ;res photos of Rachel Zegler in Snow White, top or flop?
After this new sprain to; original story, fans may reconnect with Snow White thanks to the first leaked photos of Rachel Zegler. on the Web. The West Side Story actress lends her features to; the heroine of Disney, and a first glimpse of the latter in the Snow White costume is finally offered to spectators. If we imagine that she opted; for another pair of shoes while filming, the dress worn by Rachel Zegler is identical to; the one we know in the cartoon; or the book Snow White. We must admit that his costume does not seem to be of very good quality, but we imagine that the special effects will give him another style.< /p>
As for the rest of the cast, Rachel Zegler will give the answer to; Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. The latter therefore joins the list of stars who have interpreted iconic Disney villains in live-action adaptations, such as Angelina Jolie (Maleficent) or Cate Blanchett (the stepmother in Cinderella). When Rachel Zegler announced the end of shooting on her Instagram account, writing in the caption “Last day on Snow White with the best team of all time!!!!”, Gal Gadot commented; posting it with the hashtag#EVILQUEEN. The interpreter of Wonder Woman will therefore soon pass on the side of obscure and we can’t wait to see it in another register… Andrew Burnap completes the cast in the role of Jonathan. For the time being, the film still has no release date but we imagine that it shouldn’t be later given the film’s release date. that the filming has ended recently.
