Disney’s live-action remakes of their animated classics continue with Snow White, starring Rachel Zegler (Spellbound, West Side Story) as the titular princess. But as we see in the film’s latest trailer, this iteration of Snow White has a lot more fight in her.
From the very first moments of the trailer, Snow White challenges her stepmother, the Evil Queen (Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman), about how she treats her subjects. Later, she leads these subjects to the Evil Queen’s castle, telling her, “this is our kingdom, and now we’re here to take it back.” Could Snow White be leading a full uprising?
The trailer may promise a more rebellious take on Snow White, but it also features several moments drawn from the original film, like the Evil Queen asking her Magic Mirror who’s the fairest of them all, or Snow White fleeing into the nearby forest. There, she meets the seven dwarfs, rendered here in mildly disturbing CGI, and teaches them to whistle while they work. While we don’t get to hear Snow White‘s take on that classic tune in this trailer (you can listen to it in the teaser, though), we do get to hear Zegler unleash her Disney princess pipes in one of the film’s original songs from The Greatest Showman‘s Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, titled “Waiting on a Wish.”
Snow White hits theaters March 21.
