Gal Gadot Joins Disney's SNOW WHITE Live-Action Remake as Evil Queen

"Wonder Woman" star Gal Gadot is in final negotiations to join Disney's upcoming live-action adaptation of "Snow White". The untitled film will be directed by "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "500 Days of Summer" helmer Marc Webb.

The film is based on the studio's first animated feature released in 1937, which in turn was based on the 1812 German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. Rachel Zegler will star as the titular character, while Gadot will play the Evil Queen.

The live-action film will expand upon the story and music from the original. Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the award-winning duo behind "La La Land" and "The Greatest Showman", will write new songs for the movie. Production is expected to begin in 2022.

Other Disney remakes currently in the works include "The Little Mermaid" starring Halle Bailey, "Pinocchio" with Tom Hanks and "Lilo and Stitch" directed by Jon M. Chu.

Gadot can next be seen in the action comedy "Red Notice", which also stars Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds, and Kenneth Branagh's "Death on the Nile". She is also developing "Cleopatra" at Paramount, and shooting Netflix's "Heart of Stone".
