Recently, Gal Gadot sat down with GQ to answer some pressing online questions about the Israeli actress, in an effort to promote her upcoming Netflix action movie, Heart of Stone.
Unfortunately, this interview didn't address any of the questions swirling around Gadot's return as Wonder Woman in James Gunn's new DC Studios cinematic universe, but one query did reveal that Gadot had to audition for the role of Evil Queen in Disney's upcoming live-action Snow White film, which is a musical.
As seen in the video above, Gadot confirmed that she actually had to audition for the role of the Evil Queen.
"That is correct. So yes, I'm gonna play the Evil Queen. It was the first time I kind of had to audition for a project in a while. They needed to make sure I can sing because this is a musical. So for a month, I was working on the song and then I auditioned, we filmed the song and I got the part. It was very exciting. It was so much to shoot because it was so different than anything I've ever done. It's so delicious and delightful and I could really go big and theatrical. I can't wait for you to watch this movie."
The anti-woke movement is presently deriding the unreleased film, due to statements from the actress playing the film's titular protagonist, Rachel Zegler, and leaked set photographs that allegedly reveal a more varied rendition of the seven dwarfs.
The live-action Snow White film is directed by Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man), who filmed the project based on a script written by Barbie director Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson (The Girl on the Train).
In addition to Zegler and Gadot, the film also stars Ansu Kabia as the Huntsman, Martin Klebba as Grumpy, and Andrew Burnap as Jonathan.
Gadot and Zegler's live-action musical follows the somewhat recent, Snow White and the Huntsman, a 2011 live-action Snow White film starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, and Sam Claflin.
However, the key difference with that picture is that it was produced by Universal Pictures and was based on the original Brothers Grimm German fairytale. Disney's musical will be a more faithful rendition of the more familiar 1937 animated classic.
Disney's live-action Snow White musical is currently set for release on March 22, 2024. Filming wrapped on the project a day before the SAG-AFTRA strike began on July 14, 2023.
