As a fan with a deep appreciation for the timeless tales of Disney and a soft spot for strong, diverse characters that resonate with young people, I am beyond excited about Rachel Zegler‘s portrayal of Snow White in the upcoming live-action adaptation. Her character’s new origin story not only adds depth to the beloved fairy tale but also serves as a powerful reminder of resilience and strength for all viewers.
In the upcoming live-action remake of “Snow White,” starring Rachel Zegler, it’s been disclosed that her character’s name has a fresh backstory in the film. The movie, helmed by Marc Webb and written by Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson, is influenced by the 1937 animated adaptation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which itself was based on the Brothers Grimm’s 1812 fairy tale Snow White.
Rachel Zegler reveals Snow White’s name has a new origin in live-action movie
I’ve always been captivated by the enchanting portrayal of Snow White in both the original Brothers Grimm tale and Disney’s 1937 animated film. In these stories, Snow White is beautifully described – her skin as pure as freshly fallen snow, her hair dark as the richest ebony. Interestingly, the fairytale depicts her lips as red as fresh blood, while the movie paints them as rosy as a blossoming rose.
In discussing the initial trait of her character, Zegler – who is of both Colombian and Polish heritage – shared with Variety that the character’s name has a fresh backstory in the live-action remake. She revealed that the storyline was based on an alternative account of Snow White found in history, where the character survived a snowstorm as a newborn.
Thus, the monarch and consort chose to call her Snow White as a tribute to her tenacity. A key message in our movie for all young viewers, including girls, is acknowledging your own strength,” Zegler elaborated. Following the announcement of her role, there was significant backlash on social media platforms. This reaction was partially due to the character’s portrayal in the original tale and Disney’s animated adaptation.
In July 2023, Zegler addressed the criticism on X (previously known as Twitter). “I’m deeply grateful for the support I receive online, but kindly refrain from tagging me in the irrational discussions about my casting,” she wrote. ” frankly, I don’t want to see it. So here are some photos! I hope every child realizes they can be a princess, regardless of circumstances.
Zegler shared with Varity that Snow White is her mom’s preferred princess. She explained further, “As a child, there weren’t many princesses with dark hair, and Snow White was the one she felt connected to.
Snow White debuts in the US theaters on March 21, 2025.
