The trailer starts with Snow White (played by Rachel Zegler) recalling how it was her father’s kingdom, but after his death, his stepmother, the Evil Queen took over the reins. The switch in power relegated Snow White to the sidelines. Also, Evil Queen’s Magic Mirror telling her that not her, but her stepdaughter is “the fairest of them all” further makes the situation worse for Snow White.
On a friendly advice, in order to escape the clutches of her evil stepmother, Snow White retreats to the forest, where she encounters the Seven Dwarves. She soon teams up with them to bring positive changes to the forest. The trailer ends with the Evil Queen disguised as an old woman, offering a poisonous apple to Snow White.
Gal Gadot as Evil Queen
While several internet users are lauding Gal Gadot’s casting as the Evil Queen, many feel she won’t be able to match the tall order set by predecessors like Charlize Theron in Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman.
“I mean she’s more accurate to the animation Evil Queen than they were. I agree they are great in their respective roles but we haven’t seen the full scope of Gal’s version yet. I know people don’t like her.

Snow White is slated to release in cinemas on March 21, 2025. It’s co-written by Erin Cressida Wilson and Greta Gerwig, after the blockbuster success of her directorial Barbie last year.
Disney has unveiled the official trailer for its live-action adaptation of Snow White, featuring Rachel Zegler as the titular princess and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. Set to release in theaters on March 21, 2025, the film offers a fresh perspective on the classic fairy tale.
In the trailer, Snow White embarks on a journey to reclaim her kingdom from the envious Evil Queen, who is threatened by Snow White’s beauty and kindness. The narrative delves into Snow White’s resilience and determination, highlighting her strength beyond traditional princess tropes.
Gal Gadot’s portrayal of the Evil Queen introduces a complex antagonist, adding depth to the character’s motivations and emotional layers. This nuanced depiction aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the Queen’s actions and desires.
The film also features original songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, contributing to its musical appeal. The trailer showcases Snow White’s vocal talents, particularly in the song “Waiting on a Wish,” which underscores her aspirations and dreams.
While the trailer has generated excitement among fans, it has also faced criticism. Some viewers have expressed disappointment with the casting choices and the film’s visual elements, suggesting that it may not capture the magic of the original 1937 animated classic.
LA wildfires pose a threat on the Oscars. The prestigious award ceremony may be cancelled for the first time in 96 years due to devastation and loss of life. The devastating Los Angeles wildfires have wreaked havoc on the city, leading to evacuations and loss of lives. Now, according to a report in The Sun, the Oscars awards ceremony is on the verge of being canceled for the first time in its 96-year history because of the deadly wildfires.
Oscars 2025 to be canceled?
An insider told the news portal, “The board’s main concern at this time is to not appear as if they are celebrating while many Angelenos are dealing with heartbreak and unimaginable loss. Even if the fires were to subside in the next week, the reality is that the city is still hurting and will continue to deal with that pain for months. Therefore, the hierarchy has decided that the focus will shift toward support and fundraising when the right opportunities present themselves.”
A secret “contingency strategy” put in place
Even when the world was in lockdown in 2021, the awards were postponed by two months rather than being canceled. However, the official Academy Awards ceremony, led by stars including Tom Hanks, Emma Stone, Meryl Streep, and Steven Spielberg, are now monitoring the situation in LA to decide whether the ceremony needs to be called off because of the devastation in the city. The devastating wildfires have prompted a secret “contingency strategy” to potentially call off the ceremony. The last time such a strategy was put in place was after 9/11.

According to the report, even if the Oscars awards ceremony does take place, the goody bags worth £140,000 ($171,000) will be scrapped. Previously, the goody bags included a three-night stay in the Swiss Alps, beauty treatments, jewelry, and a £1,000 ($1,220) barbecue grill. However, they have now been deemed “in bad taste” by board members.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has extended the nomination voting period to January 17 and will now announce its nominees at a virtual event on Thursday (January 23). The LA wildfires have destroyed the homes of many A-listers, including Mandy Moore, Paris Hilton, and others. So far, 25 people have lost their lives, and that figure is expected to rise as emergency services continue their search through the rubble.
