Disney’s ‘Snow White’ remake casts male lead as brand-new character

Disney has got some flak for its live-action remakes, simply reheating the stories of the original animated classics for a different medium, but it looks like the upcoming Snow White reboot will be taking a different tack. We already knew the movie was diversifying its cast somewhat by casting West Side Story‘s Rachel Zegler in the title role and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. Now we know that its male lead will be an entirely new character.

As confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, Andrew Burnap has been hired to star opposite Zegler in Snow White. Burnap won the Tony Award for his performance in The Inheritance last year, beating Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Hiddleston. Now he will be playing a unique character in the Marc Webb-directed production and will not be portraying either the huntsman or the prince from the 1938 film who act as Snow’s rescuers.
