Rachel Zegler Is Rewriting the Fairytale—As Disney’s First Latina Snow White 👑

Making history one fairytale at a time. ✨
For the first time ever, a Latina actress is stepping into one of Disney’s most iconic roles—and doing it on her own terms.

Rachel Zegler, the 23-year-old breakout star of West Side Story, is officially our new Snow White, bringing her magic, voice, and roots to the big screen on March 21. The live-action film reimagines the beloved story with more heart, courage, and cultural relevance than ever before.

Why This Matters

Zegler’s casting is more than a Hollywood headline; it’s a milestone. It means millions of young Latinas will grow up seeing themselves reflected in royalty, in magic, in the stories we’ve loved for generations.

And in this version, Snow White isn’t waiting for a prince. She’s driven by her dreams and a desire to lead with kindness and strength. It’s a shift that reflects the power of modern storytelling and the rising influence of Latinas on screen.

Zegler also debuts a brand-new original song, “Waiting on a Wish,” written by Grammy-winning duo Pasek & Paul, introducing a fresh and empowering sound to the classic fairytale.

This is a moment for the comunidad, a reminder that Latinas aren’t just part of the story, we are the story. ✨
