Rachel Zegler, who will make her on-screen debut in West Side Story and is set to play the first-ever Disney princess Snow White has landed a new role with them.
Disney’s live-action adaption of their first animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, which was released back in 1937 just got its newest addition: former Broadway actress Rachel Zegler as Snow white herself.
The new take on the classic movie, Sleeping Beauty is going to be a great film! A princess falls into an eternal sleep after being fed with poisoned apples by her stepmother. The only way she can be awakened from this deep slumber and cursed state is when kissed by prince charming.
“Rachel’s extraordinary vocal abilities are just the beginning of her gifts,” Webb said in a statement. “Her strength, intelligence and optimism will become an integral part of rediscovering the joy in this classic Disney fairytale.”
