West Side Story star Rachel Zegler will play Snow White in Disney’s live-action adaptation of classic fairytale, Snow White.
The US actress, 20, is poised to make her film debut later this year when playing Maria in Steven Spielberg’s much-awaited West Side Story.
It has now been revealed she will also play the fairest of them all in what is billed as a new take on Snow White.
Responding to the news, Zegler said: “Well… hello to a dream come true.”
Snow White And The Seven Dwarves, released in 1937, was the first Disney animated feature film.
It tells the story of a princess fed a poisoned apple by her stepmother, placing her in a deep sleep from which she can only be awakened by a kiss from a prince.
Its original soundtrack includes the songs Heigh-Ho, Someday My Prince Will Come and Whistle While You Work.
Marc Webb, whose previous films include 500 Days of Summer and The Amazing Spider-Man, is set to direct the live-action version.
He said he was “thrilled” at Zegler’s casting.
Production on Snow White is expected to begin next year.
