Andrew Burnap has joined the cast of Disney’s live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Burnap won a Tony Award last year for his performance in The Inheritance, and he will be taking on the male lead role. He joins Rachel Zegler (West Side Story) as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen in the retelling that Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer, The Amazing Spider-Man) is directing. Burnap is set to portray a new male character created for the film and will sing.
The retelling, based on the 1938 animated classic is also a musical, and it has Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman, Dear Evan Hansen) penning new songs.
The film is currently in pre-production, and is eyeing a 2023 release. Are you looking forward to this adaptation?
