Fans will have to wait longer for Snow White Live Action film
The story of Snow White was written more than two centuries ago by the Brothers Grimm. Snow White first appeared in Grimm’s Fairy Tales in 1812.
In 1937, Disney made Snow White its beloved princess by turning the classic fairytale into an animated film. And now, taking a step ahead, the Walt Disney Company is in the process of turning Snow White into a live-action film.
The production house first announced its plans to turn Snow White into a live-action film in 2016. The plans were fructified in 2022 when Snow White Live Action starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot started filming. Rachel will star as Snow White while Gal Gadot will be seen playing the evil and envious queen. The original release date for the much-awaited film was March 22, 2024, but the SAG-AFTRA strike forced the makers to push the release to a later date given the lack of new work. Now, the live-action version of the animated Disney movie will premiere on March 21, 2025.
