Disney has debuted a first-look image of actress Rachel Zegler within the titular role for it’s live motion reimagining of “Snow White.”

Within the photo, the 22-year-old “West Side Story” actress is surrounded by her animated male companions, Dopey, Grumpy, Sneezy, Bashful, Glad, Sleepy and Doc.
Disney described the seven fellas as “magical creatures,” to not be confused with dwarfs, very early within the film’s production after it had been criticized by “Game of Thrones” star Peter Dinklage.
“Take a step back and have a look at what you’re doing there,” the actor said during an interview on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast. “It is senseless to me. You’re progressive in a method, but then you definitely’re still making that f–king backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together. What the f–k are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I suppose I’m not loud enough.”

“We did a very deep dive into fixing and making a contemporary woman out of Snow White,” she told People. “Most of my character doesn’t work for today’s audience, I’ll just say it. We did a very deep dive into fixing and making a contemporary woman out of Snow White.” she admitted. “I believe she’s 13 in the unique cartoon, so we began there and said, ‘No, she’s 18 on this one.’ She’s a bit more independent.”
