Originally premiering in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the first Disney animated feature film. The famous story follows the titular princess living with her stepmother, a vain Queen.

Gadot most recently starred in DC’s Wonder Woman 1984, which premiered in theaters and on HBO Max, simultaneously. Up next, Gadot joins Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds in Red Notice, one of Netflix’s most expensive projects to date.
