The “Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot will play the Evil Queen in Disney's upcoming movie adaptation of "Snow White".
Disney always desired Gadot to play the role, and a deal was finalized this week after scheduling was worked out.
The movie is expected to start production in 2022.
Gadot will join the "West Side Story" actress Rachel Zegler, who has been cast as Snow White.
The new adaptation will feature an expanded story with different music than the original 1937 movie.
"The Greatest Showman" songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul had penned the new music.
Disney's next live-action remake with a release date is "The Little Mermaid", which is set to theaters on May 26, 2023.
The studio has also wrapped filming on a live-action remake of "Pinocchio" and a "Peter Pan & Wendy" movie. The two movies are set to debut on Disney+.
Disney is also developing a follow-up to their remake of "The Lion King" which will be focusing on Mufasa.
