As in the rest of the current film industry, Disney works on its projects updating the roles to generate that world a little more inclusive. From choosing a black woman to play Ariel in the live-action Little Mermaid to promoting Marvel’s heroic female characters. With this trend, it is not surprising that the actress who will be Snow White does not respond to the classic canons of the 1937 film.
The new princess who will live with the seven dwarfs will be Rachel Zegler. With a Colombian mother and an American father, the actress has not yet made her debut in the cinema, but it will be for her next three projects, one of the actresses of 2022. The relevance that this new star will acquire is not only due to embody the Most Beautiful Girl in the Kingdom, she will also appear in Steven Spielberg’s remake of West Side History. In the musical, Zegler will be María, the protagonist alongside Ansel Elgort. As if this were not enough, the actress will play one of Shazam’s villains: The Fury of the Gods .
Zegler, who will be Snow White, will thus cover three very different projects at the beginning of his career. Marc Webb, the director of this new adaptation, appreciated the abilities of the protagonist of his next film: “Zegler’s extraordinary abilities are only the beginning of his gifts. His strength, intelligence and optimism will become an integral part in rediscovering joy in this classic Disney fairy tale. “

By a chance of fate, the actress herself shared a 2017 publication in which she appeared disguised as Ariel from The Little Mermaid with a text that said “I want to be a real Disney princess.” To the post, Zegler now added a “hahahahahahahha”, laughing at the coincidence with the current news that has come true. In turn, the new Snow White also shared photos and videos of her meeting the apple princess at the Disneyland amusement park. ” I love you cinematic universe of Disney princesses” Zegler finally wrote to celebrate his new role.
