Snow White is scheduled to be released in theaters in the United States by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on March 21, 2025.

[23] At the 2022 Denver Fan Expo, Martin Klebba revealed that he would be portraying Grumpy in the film; Klebba previously played similar dwarf roles in prior productions based on the "Snow White" fairy tale: in the 2001 made-for-television film Snow White: The Fairest of Them All as Friday, and in the 2012 fantasy comedy Mirror Mirror as Butcher.

[24] Filming for Snow White was originally set to begin in March 2020 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Los Angeles, California, but it was delayed to July 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

[32] The shooting schedule was also reconfigured for Zegler to travel to Los Angeles to present at the 94th Academy Awards ceremony on March 27, in support of her West Side Story colleagues.

There were quick flashes of several major settings, including Snow White's cottage in the woods, the intricately designed interior of the Queen's castle, and the moss-covered forest.

[51] On October 27, 2023, Disney released the official first image of the film with Zegler as Snow White as well as Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, and Sneezy.

[69][70][71] In the United States and Canada, Snow White will be released alongside Warner Bros. Pictures' The Alto Knights, and is projected to gross $63–70 million in its opening weekend.

[74][75] Zegler responded to the comments in January 2022, saying that Snow White is popular in Spanish-speaking countries and having a Latina in such a role is rare, so she was proud to be cast.

Vaca stated that the casting call for the role of Snow White was "open to all ethnic groups", and that the first phase of auditioning consisted of singing a Disney Princess song..[77] In October 2024, Zegler revealed that in the movie the character would be given the name Snow White after she and her parents survived a snowstorm to remind her of her resilience, which Zegler says was a plot-line used in another version of the fairy tale.

[78] In January 2022, actor Peter Dinklage, who has a form of dwarfism and has played dwarfish characters in his career, commented on the upcoming live-action Snow White remake, dismissing it as a "backward story".

[79] In response to Dinklage's comments, Disney stated that "to avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community".

[80][81] Numerous other actors with dwarfism responded negatively to Dinklage's comments, feeling he was unduly speaking on their behalf and costing them roles.

[84][85] The decision to reimagine the characters as such was criticised by mainstream and social media sources as being overly politically correct,[83][85] as well as potentially taking away acting opportunities from the dwarfism community.

"[88] Wrestler and actor Dylan Postl also disagreed with Dinklage's view, echoed Acuña's sentiments, and defended the portrayal of the dwarf characters in the animated film.

[6][52][53] Zegler attracted criticism over statements expressing disapproval of the original film, the Prince, and Snow White's character.

We have a different approach to what I'm sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because we cast a guy in the movie, Andrew Burnap, great dude.

It’s Hollywood, baby!In response to her comments, many rebuked her for making Snow White "more feminist",[96] while others criticised her for misinterpreting feminism, with accusations of promoting the girlboss archetype or maligning women that seek traditional feminine roles or are uninterested in power or leadership.

Ashten Stein, a brand strategist, felt that Zegler's statements made it appear that she had not received media training for marketing the film.

[99] This controversy prompted conservative media organization The Daily Wire to announce its own live-action adaptation of the original fairy tale, titled Snow White and the Evil Queen, set for release in 2025 in an effort to compete with Disney's version.

[107] Ofir Akunis, Israel's consul general in New York, criticized Zegler and called for people to buy tickets to Gadot's next film.

[78] In November 2024, another call to boycott the film was made by MAGA supporters after Zegler posted "Fuck Donald Trump" criticized those who voted to re-elect him.
