Snow White is called the first Disney princess, as the animated film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was released in 1937. The live-action remake premieres in cinemas in 2024.

It will be directed by Marc Web, who did “500 Days of Summer” and “The Amazing Spider-Man” movies.

Benj Pasek and Justin Paul of “La La Land,” “The Greatest Showman,” and “Dear Evan Hansen” are writing original songs for the film.

More exciting films unveiled at the expo include the live-action “Peter Pan and Wendy,” which premieres next year on Disney Plus, and the prequel “Mufasa: The Lion King,” premiering in 2024. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA News
