As per a report in the Hollywood Reporter, Gal Gadot is set to feature as the antagonist opposite Snow White. She will be enacting the character, who becomes Snow White's evil mother after the King remarries after the death of the queen.

While the queen is always pleased with the answer, years later, she is shocked when the mirror replies that the 7-year-old Snow White was the fairest. The story then traces her conspiracy against her stepdaughter out of jealousy for Snow White.
