Here is Rachel Zegler who will soon meet us through her role as Snow White in Disney's live action version.

The list of films that this 20-year-old actress has starred in is still not many. Previously, Rachel often appeared on school theater stages. Interestingly, when she was on the theater stage, she once played another Disney princess character, Ariel and Belle.

Rachel has been chosen to portray Maria Vasquez in the remake of WEST SIDE STORY by Steven Spielberg, which is scheduled to be released in December.

For her role in WEST SIDE STORY, Rachel, who also has a Youtube channel, beat out 30,000 other people to secure the role in the film.

Rachel Zegler was also confirmed in early 2021 as one of the supporting cast members in SHAZAM! FURY OF THE GODS and became the second Colombian-blooded star in the DC Universe.

Now she has been announced as the actress for Snow White. It is rumored that Rachel was chosen because of her exceptional vocal abilities. Additionally, her intelligence and optimism are believed to bring the character of Snow White to life.

In response to Rachel's selection, there were some protests because they felt that this Latina actress was not suitable due to her skin not being as white as snow.

Rachel has responded to the criticism on her Twitter account. She emphasizes that she will not whiten her exotic skin to become Snow White. Keep up the spirit, Rachel!
