- Gal Gadot is stepping into the role of the Evil Queen.
- She is starring in Disney's upcoming Snow White movie.
- The trailer showcased her performance as the conniving stepmother.
The recently released trailer showcases Gadot's performance as the conniving stepmother, with Snow White (Rachel Zegler) narrating the story. After her father's death, Snow White's stepmother takes over the kingdom, relegating her to the sidelines.
The situation worsens when the Evil Queen’s Magic Mirror declares that Snow White, not her stepdaughter, is “the fairest of them all.”
In an attempt to escape her evil stepmother, Snow White flees to the forest, where she meets the Seven Dwarfs and joins forces with them to bring positive change. The trailer concludes with the Evil Queen, disguised as an old woman, offering Snow White a poisoned apple.
While many fans are praising Gadot’s casting, some remain skeptical, especially in comparison to previous portrayals of the Evil Queen. One user defended the casting, saying, “I mean she’s more accurate to the animation Evil Queen than they were. I agree they are great in their respective roles but we haven’t seen the full scope of Gal’s version yet. I know people don’t like her (which I totally understand) but it will be interesting to see her version.”
The film has also sparked controversy over the casting of Rachel Zegler as Snow White, a Latina actor in the traditionally white role, as well as for not casting dwarf actors as the Seven Dwarfs.
