Snow White draws inspiration from the classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, and it centers on a young princess who’s taken in by a group of seven dwarves living in the woods after she’s exiled by her wicked stepmother.

The first look photo shows Zegler’s princess Snow White surrounded by the seven dwarfs – Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, and Sneezy. It also reveals that the studio relied on CGI to mimic the appearance of the characters from the original 1937 animated classic.

The studio previously said they’re “taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community” to avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, and added they’ll share more news as the film heads into production.

In addition to Zegler in the titular role, Snow White will also star Gal Gadot, Andrew Burnap, Ansu Kabia, and Colin Michael Carmichael. The film’s release date has been pushed due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, and it’s now set to premiere on March 21, 2025.

The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is based on Suzanne Collins’ book of the same name, initially published back in May. This prequel is set in the same universe as her best-selling The Hunger Games novel, and it takes place decades before Coriolanus Snow became the tyrannical President of Panem.

The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes centers on the young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth), who’s the only hope for his once once-proud family after their fall from grace in a post-war Capitol. After being reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), a tribute from the impoverished District 12, they must do everything in their power to shift their fates and turn the odds in their favor.

In addition to the leading duo, the star-studded cast of The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes will also include Peter Dinklage, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andrés Rivera, Jason Schwartzman, and Viola Davis. The highly-anticipated prequel will be released on November 17 by Lionsgate Films.

The Oscar-winner Colman is joining the threequel as the Reverend Mother, a nun who runs the Home for Retired Bears, while Banderas and Zegler will portray Hunter and Gina Cabot, a dashing riverboat captain and his daughter who offer to help the Browns during their adventure in Peru.

As for Mortimer, she’ll replace Sally Hawkins in the role of Mrs. Brown, after “The Shape of Water” actress decided to exit the franchise. The rest of the original cast members are in talks to return, including Hugh Bonneville, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, Madeleine Harris, Samuel Joslin, and Imelda Staunton, along with Ben Wishaw as the voice of Paddington.

Paddington In Peru was announced six years after the release of the second film in the franchise, and it will see our favorite bear return to Peru to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy. The Brown Family will join him on this thrilling adventure, which will take them everywhere from the Amazon rainforest to the mountain peaks of Peru. Dougal Wilson is coming on board as a director, taking the reins from Paul King, who directed the first two films.

This film will center on the young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth), as he tries to bring honor to his once-proud family after their fall from grace. During the 10th annual Hunger Games, he’s assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler) from District 12, and he decides to use her showmanship and his newfound political savvy to turn the odds in her favor.

Director Francis Lawrence unveiled the trailer during Lionsgate’s CinemaCon presentations and said the prequel will have a grittier and darker tone than the original films.

“One of the things that really interested me in the novel itself was just the scope of the story. And the fact that it’s an origin story not just of a character that we all know from the other series, but the origin of Panem and the origin of the Games,” said Lawrence.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will premiere on November 17, and it will also star Peter Dinklage, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andrés Rivera, Jason Schwartzman, and Viola Davis.

Y2K is set on New Year’s Eve 1999, and it centers on two high school nobodies, who decide to ring in the new millennium by crashing the last big party. Things get crazy when the clock strikes midnight, and the night gets more insane than they ever could have imagined.

Jaeden Martell (It) and Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2) lead the stacked ensemble, which also includes Rachel Zegler (West Side Story), Lachlan Watson (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Mason Gooding (Scream VI), and rapper The Kid Laroi.

Tim Heidecker (Us), Eduardo Franco (Stranger Things), Miles Robbins (Blockers), Alicia Silverstone (The Killing of a Sacred Deer), Fred Hechinger (Fear Street Trilogy), and Daniel Zolghadri (Funny Pages) also star.

Mooney left Saturday Night Live at the end of last season, and this will mark his directorial feature debut. Evan Winter wrote the script, and he’ll produce alongside Christopher Storer, Matt Dines, plus Ali Goodwin and Jonah Hill via their production company Strong Baby.

This highly-anticipated prequel takes place before the events of The Hunger Games franchise and centers on the 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow before he went on to become the tyrannical president of Panam.

Tom Blyth had recently been cast as the young Coriolanus Snow and he’ll be joined by Rachel Zegler in the role of Lucy Gray Baird, the girl tribute from impoverished District 12 that he’s set to mentor after she captured Capitol’s attention with her singing abilities during the reaping ceremony.

Francis Lawrence, who’s set to return as the director, believes that Zegler is the perfect choice for this role and that she’ll make the character unforgettable.

“I first saw Rachel Zegler in West Side Story, and like everybody, I knew I was watching a star who would command the screen for a generation. Lucy Gray is a perfect match for her as an actress: the character is bold, independent, and defiant, but also vulnerable, emotional, and loving,” said Lawrence in a statement.

Zegler is attached to several more high-profile projects including Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Disney’s live-action adaptation of Snow White.

Director Marc Webb confirmed the news to Deadline, saying that Zegler’s “strength, intelligence, and optimism will become an integral part of rediscovering the joy in this classic Disney fairytale.”

Zegler also shared her excitement about the casting in a series of social media posts.  

Rachel Zegler still hasn’t made her official movie debut. She stars as the lead in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, but the feature won’t be out until later this year. She got the role of Maria back in 2018, responding to an open casting call and beating 30,000 other applicants.

Previously, Zegler was known for her YouTube channel, which she started in 2015. She previously uploaded covers of popular songs on it, but now mostly does vlogs and clips about her life in Hollywood.

Besides Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and West Side Story, Zegler will also be part of DC’s superhero movie Shazam! Fury of the Gods. She will “play a mysterious key role” in the latter one, but exact details remain unknown.
