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. Jealous of Snow White’s beauty, the wicked Queen orders the murder of her innocent stepdaughter. However, the queen discovers that Snow White is still alive and hiding in a cottage with seven friendly dwarves.

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. The actress will also portray the ruler of the Kingdom of Egypt, Cleopatra, in a biopic directed by Patty Jenkins, as well as reprising her role as Wonder Woman in a third solo DCEU film.
