Gal Gadot spoke about playing the Evil Queen in Disney's forthcoming live-action version of Snow White during D23 Expo, which took place at the Anaheim Convention Center, on Friday.
The Wonder Woman actress, 37, talked about working on the highly-anticipated feature and how she isn't used to portraying a villain on screen.
She was joined by the upcoming movie's leading lady, Rachel Zegler, who said it was 'an honor' to be playing the iconic Disney princess.
Gadot described the role to Deadline as 'very different than what I had done before' and that she is 'used to playing the other end of where the heart should be.'
Despite typically playing a heroine, Gadot said it was 'delightful' to have the opportunity to portray the 'iconic villain.'
'Getting under her skin was so delightful,' she gushed, making sure to add that the Evil Queen is far from her real-life persona.
Zegler, 21, went on to speak about portraying Snow White in the upcoming adaptation of the 1937 animated film.
The West Side Story star explained that her character is searching for 'a sense of agency so she can be a just ruler and wonderful queen.'
Zegler told the outlet that it was 'an honor' to adapt the movie 'for modern age.'
Development on the live-action adaptation of Snow White began in 2016, and Marc Webb agreed to direct the feature three years later.
Gadot and Zegler were announced as the movie's two leads in June of last year.
Greta Gerwig signed on to co-write the feature's screenplay that November.
Other cast members in the project include Andrew Burnap and Martin Klebba, who will portray Grumpy.
Physical production was initially set to commence in 2020, although it was delayed due to the onset of the global pandemic.
Filming eventually began this past March and continued for several months before the project's crew wrapped in July.
The forthcoming live-action adaptation of Snow White is currently set to make its debut in 2024.
