Director: Marc Webb
Marc Webb's 2025 reimagining of Snow White trades the enchanted forest for 1920s Seville, following a female bullfighter whose courage sets her apart from everyone around her.
What is Snow White about?
Rachel Zegler leads the cast as a young woman navigating a household ruled by an ambitious stepmother, played by Gal Gadot, while carving out her own identity in the bullfighting arenas of southern Spain. Rather than leaning on the familiar fairy-tale beats, the film builds its world around period detail, regional color, and a heroine defined by physical daring rather than passive waiting. Supporting turns from Andrew Burnap, Jeremy Swift, and Martin Klebba round out a story that blends fantasy elements with grounded stakes drawn from 1920s Andalusian life. The drama-fantasy hybrid runs a lean 104 minutes and keeps its focus tight on the central rivalry between the two women.
Cast & crew
Zegler carries the film's emotional center, while Gadot brings a controlled menace to her role as the woman who sees the heroine as a threat. Burnap, Swift, Kravits, Klebba, Salazar, and Burgess fill out an ensemble that gives the Seville setting texture beyond its two leads.
Context & significance
Director Marc Webb, known for character-driven work outside the usual blockbuster mold, uses the bullfighting backdrop to reframe a familiar story around risk, spectacle, and inherited expectation rather than magic alone. The 1920s Spanish setting is a deliberate departure from the source material's Central European origins.
