“She’s delicious, she’s evil, she’s magical, I got to sing all these different songs — it was incredible,” the “Wonder Woman” star said at D23.
Gal Gadot has switched from superhero to Evil Queen.

As is tradition for the latest batch of Disney live-action remakes, Gadot’s look is unsurprisingly faithful to the design of the character in the original 1937 movie, which was Disney’s first feature-length animation project. The live-action Evil Queen has a tall, pointy crown, a headpiece that conceals her hair, and a purple dress with long, billowy sleeves.
Gadot discussed playing the villain on stage at D23. “It was a lot of fun to get to do something completely different than anything I’ve ever done before,” she said during a panel. “She’s delicious, she’s evil, she’s magical, I got to sing all these different songs — it was incredible.”

The footage also offers more glimpses of the dwarfs, showing their silhouettes as they walk to (or from?) their work in the mines before giving a clear view of Doc, Grumpy, Sleepy, Happy, Sneezy, Bashful, and Dopey as they dance with Snow White in their cottage.
Of course, the real star of the teaser is West Side Story and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes actress Rachel Zegler, who is playing the titular princess. Zegler sings “Whistle While You Work,” gazes longingly into a well, and journeys through a forest before being attacked by a moving tree and encountering a friendly deer (hopefully not a Bambi crossover, but you can never rule these things out at this point).
