We’re still several months away from the premiere ofDisney’sSnow White, but the studio felt the time has come to start teasing fans for their next — and highly anticipated — live action adaptation. The story starsRachel Zegler(The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) as the title character, a young girl who is tormented by the Evil Queen (Gal Gadot) after the woman becomes the ruler of their kingdom. The fantasy blockbuster is expected to hit theaters on June 23, 2025.
Since we still have plenty of time to get hyped up, it was expected that Disney wouldn’t give it all away immediatelyat this year’s D23. At the same time, fans can celebrate having a closer look and getting a better sense ofwhat to expect from the movie. We had already seenZegler as Snow White, and now we also finally knowhow Gadot looks likein her villain era.
One thing we know for sure is that, once again, Disney will commit to delivering a sense of wonder for classic animation fans who showed up to watchThe Little Mermaid,Beauty and the Beast,Maleficentand others. We still have a lot to find out about the new adaptation — including the biggest changes that will be made to the story (if any) and how the script will approach the participation of the seven dwarves — but it’s pretty easy to assume it will look great.
Disney Will Keep the Live-Action Remakes Coming
Several entries in, Disney is still pretty excited about adapting its classic animated movies into live-action pieces. This year, we’ll see what the studio does with the legacy of one of its biggest classics withMufasa: The Lion King.

Aside from it, Disney has already lined up several other adaptations, including a live-actionMoana,Lilo & Stitch,Hercules,Bambi, and others.
