The next Disney live-action adaptation has lined up its next lead!
Despite the fact that her upcoming breakout role as Maria in Steven Spielberg’s new retelling of West Side Story doesn’t release until December, Rachel Zegler has found her next big role. As first reported by Deadline, Zegler is set to star as Snow White in Disney’s live-action adaptation of the film that started it all for the studio’s legendary slew of classics. Marc Webb will direct, with Marc Platt producing.
In regards to the casting, Webb stated,
“Rachel’s extraordinary vocal abilities are just the beginning of her gifts,”
. “Her strength, intelligence and optimism will become an integral part of rediscovering the joy in this classic Disney fairytale.”
On top of that, she also found her first big comic-book movie prior to her big break, joining Zachary Levi in D.C.’s Shazam! Fury of the Gods.
