With reshoots now underway in The UK, the first photos from the set of Disney's Snow White live-action reimagining have been shared online (via the Daily Mail), and they have already stirred up plenty of conversation!
The shots were initially beliueve to feature star Rachel Zegler (Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Westside Story) in the titular Disney princess' classic red and yellow costume, but on closer inspection, this appears to be her stand in. The photos show Snow White waving goodbye to her seven... regular-sized companions?
We had heard that director Marc Webb and writers Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson had made a few changes to the original story, with Disney confirming the plan to "avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film [by] taking a different approach with these seven characters."
As you can see, there only appears to be one little person, with the rest of the group made up of a diverse cast of men and women. Previous reports have indicated that the Dwarfs will be replaced with "magical creatures" of some description, but these guys all look pretty human to us. Maybe CGI will be used to alter their appearance?
There's also been some debate as to the validity of these images, but, as far as we can tell, they were taken during legitimate reshoots for the film in Bedfordshire.

Gal Gadot is also on board as the Evil Queen, with Andrew Burnap, who can be seen in the set photos, playing the new character named Jonathan. Martin Klebba is playing Grumpy, but doesn't appear to be in any of the above photos.
Snow White is set to hit theaters next March.
