Following the clip, Disney also released a teaser trailer, offering a glimpse of the film's key moments.
The trailer features Gal Gadot in her role as the wicked stepmother, showcasing her transformation into the iconic evil witch.
Other highlights include Snow White picking apples and Gadot donning the crown, along with a faithful recreation of the magical mirror scene.
Gal Gadot described her role as the antagonist, stating, "She's evil, she's magical, she's delicious."
Her portrayal aims to bring a new level of depth to the classic villain, adding a contemporary edge to the timeless story.
Directed by Marc Webb, known for his work on 'The Amazing Spider-Man' and '500 Days of Summer,' the film features a script by Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson, with Marc Platt serving as producer, according to Deadline.
The film introduces a new male lead character portrayed by Tony Award-winning actor Andrew Burnap, adding a fresh dynamic to the narrative.
According to Deadline, the original music for the film is crafted by the Oscar-winning duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, famous for their work on 'La La Land.'
Their compositions are expected to enrich the film's musical landscape, complementing the classic songs with new, original pieces.
The film's storyline remains true to the Brothers Grimm tale, following 'Snow White' as she finds refuge with seven dwarf miners after being banished into a perilous forest by her envious stepmother.
With its blend of classic charm and modern elements, Disney's 'Snow White' is poised to captivate audiences and add a new chapter to the legacy of one of animation's most cherished stories.
