Disney has released the first official trailer for the live-action musical version of the beloved fairy tale Snow White. To be directed by Marc Webb and co-written by Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson, the movie looks to mesmerize the fans with the breathtaking visuals it will create, as well as with its star-studded cast and an all-new musical experience.

The story starts with Snow White remembering how her father’s kingdom was usurped by her stepmother, the Evil Queen, upon his death. The Magic Mirror tells the Evil Queen that Snow White is “the fairest of them all,” which makes the Queen even more jealous. Snow White, guided by a friend, goes to the forest, where she meets the Seven Dwarves and joins forces with them to bring good things to the forest.

However, opinions are divided within fan groups on the casting of the Evil Queen with Gal Gadot, some appreciating she was the first fresh attempt and others saying she has immense challenges as the role’s portrayal before has been iconically covered with earlier performances by legends such as Charlize Theron in Snow White and the Huntsman.
