New set photos from Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of “Snow White” are here. Not only do they show what Rachel Zegler’s Snow White will look like, they also reveal a new twist on the seven companions she will have.
The new set photos are from the Daily Mail and show Zegler in Snow White’s iconic red, blue, and yellow outfit as she walks across a field. Behind her are seven people who, according to the Daily Mail, are called “fantastic beings” rather than the “dwarfs” seen in the 1937 cartoon. These people are dressed in various eccentric garments as they cheer and march across the field.
The cast includes Martin Klebba, who will play Grumpy in the upcoming film. The Daily Mail also reports that two back-up extras were also used, so it’s unclear who exactly will direct the final film and who won’t.

What do we know about the live-action Snow White?
Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of “Snow White” is based on the studio’s first animated classic, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” which launched over 80 years ago and launched Disney’s animation success story. It was also inspired by the 1812 German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm.
The film is directed by Rachel Zegler (West Side Story, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) in the title role, with Gal Gadot playing the evil queen. They are joined by Andrew Burnap as Jonathan and Martin Klebba as Grumpy. Marc Webb is directing and producing from a screenplay by Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson. The project is expected to expand on the story and music of the original. La La Land and The Greatest Showman duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul are also tasked with writing new songs for the adaptation.
This project is part of Disney’s growing list of upcoming live-action projects, including Moiana, Hercules, Lilo and Stitch, and Bambi.
