Steven Spielberg may not be directly overseeing the upcoming live-action Snow White, but he played a crucial role in selecting the perfect actress for the role. Rachel Zegler, who gained prominence due to her performance in Spielberg’s West Side Story, has disclosed that the renowned filmmaker provided her with a glowing endorsement. In true Spielberg style, he employed a unique and slightly humorous approach to inform her of securing the role before she received the formal notification.
The New Jersey native shared this fun behind-the-scenes casting tidbit when she stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live. The show’s official Instagram account shared a clip from the chat, and the Shazam! Fury of the Gods actress expressed gratitude while recalling how Spielberg vouched for her to Snow White director Marc Webb. But, honestly, what I really love is how the acclaimed filmmaker also subtly spoiled the big news in a way that feels straight out of a movie:
In simpler terms, Steven Spielberg sent Marc Webb a positive endorsement for my director role. Additionally, Steven hinted that I had landed the part before I found out about it. This was suggested when I wished him Happy Father’s Day, and he responded with numerous apple emojis.
Jimmy Kimmel promptly commended the director’s reaction, labeling it “clever” and “typically Spielberg-esque.” To be frank, his assessment was accurate. Instead of straightforwardly congratulating Rachel Zegler, the Best Picture Oscar-winning director chose a subtle hint, which undeniably added an extra layer of charm to the moment. She went on to say:
Yeah, he was giving Taylor Swift Easter eggs about my casting.
It’s quite an accurate observation. The director of Saving Private Ryan seems to be indicating strong confidence in the Hunger Games alum’s abilities, as demonstrated by his subtle cues and backing. This is not surprising given her remarkable debut in West Side Story and her ability to reimagine a timeless classic. Therefore, taking on Snow White appears to be a logical progression for her proven talent.

It’s worth noting that, much like other productions under Disney, the auditioning process for this project was kept very confidential. In fact, when she initially got the script to read, she hadn’t a clue it was for a future live-action Disney adaptation.
In all these Disney materials you’re dealing with, you’re often left guessing what you’re reading. It might list an ‘untitled Disney live-action movie’ and the scripts will bear various characters’ names. For instance, it could be Amber and Jeff. Marc Webb accidentally revealed that I was actually communicating with Dopey. In the back of my mind, I thought to myself, “Alright.
Absolutely, the classic tale “Snow White” has stirred up quite a bit of discussion lately, particularly regarding the upcoming live-action movie. Many fans are eager to witness Rachel Zegler’s portrayal of this beloved Disney princess, and early reactions suggest she’s doing an exceptional job. In fact, some are saying it could be one of Disney’s top live-action films ever made. So, I believe those who appreciate her performance should give a round of applause to Steven Spielberg for advocating for her.
Viewers won’t have to wait too much longer before they get to witness Rachel Zegler embodying the legendary princess character. The film adaptation of Snow White, scheduled for a 2025 movie release, is due out on March 21. Until then, you can watch her past performances by streaming West Side Story on Disney+ as we eagerly await her enchanting performance in the future.
