Snow White

Disney's Snow White, or simply Snow White, is a 2025 American musical fantasy film directed by Marc Webb and produced by Marc Platt Productions for Walt Disney Pictures. It is a live-action reimagining of Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which was based on the 1812 fairy tale "Snow White" by the Brothers Grimm. The film stars Rachel Zegler as the title character, a princess who escapes assassination by her stepmother, the Evil Queen (Gal Gadot), and joins with seven magical characters and a rogue bandit named Jonathan (Andrew Burnap) to reclaim her kingdom. Plans for a Snow White remake were confirmed in October 2016, with Erin Cressida Wilson announced as a screenwriter. Webb entered talks to direct in May 2019 and was announced as director in September. Principal photography took place in the UK from March to July 2022, with additional reshoots taking place in June 2024. The film was initially set to be released in March 2024 but faced delays due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Prior to its release, the film generated significant controversy regarding its color-blind casting, changes to the story, and the reimagining of the Seven Dwarfs. Additional backlash stemmed from lead actress Zegler's public critiques of the original film and her political views, as well as her and Gadot's opposing views on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, leading to calls for boycotts. Snow White premiered at Alcázar of Segovia in Segovia, Spain, on March 12, 2025, and was theatrically released in the United States on March 21. It received mixed reviews from critics and has grossed $184.2 million worldwide against a production budget of $240–270 million, making it a box-office bomb.
