Is Gal Gadot the fairest one of all? Well, obviously, but the Wonder Woman actress is set to make it official as Deadline has reported that Gal Gadot is set to play the Evil Queen in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of Snow White.
Snow White is one of the many live-action adaptations that Disney has in the works and this one has been in development for five years. Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man) is directing the film with production expected to kick off in 2022. Rachel Zegler (West Side Story) is set to play Snow White, with Webb saying that “Rachel’s extraordinary vocal abilities are just the beginning of her gits. Her strength, intelligence, and optimism will become an integral part of rediscovering the joy in this classic Disney fairytale.”
The search for an actress to play Snow White was a long one, but Deadline says that Disney was always keen on Gal Gadot playing the Evil Queen. It will be a fun change of pace to see Gal Gadot show off her dark side. Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the pair behind La La Land, The Greatest Showman, and Dear Evan Hansen, are on board to write new songs for the movie, and that is part of the reason why it’s has taken so long to get off the ground – Disney wants to make sure that they get the music absolutely right.
Gal Gadot will next be seen in Red Notice, an action-comedy written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. In addition to Gadot, Red Notice also stars Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds. The film finds Johnson playing an FBI profiler who is forced to partner with the world’s greatest art thief (Reynolds) in order to catch the world’s most wanted art thief (Gadot). The film is set for a limited theatrical release on November 5th before launching on Netflix on November 12th.
