Gal Gadot is trading her golden lasso for a crown — and this time, it’s not the heroic kind. The Wonder Woman star steps into the world of Disney magic with her latest role as the Evil Queen in the upcoming live-action remake of Snow White, and she’s embracing every deliciously dark moment of it.

When Gadot shared the news with her 8-year-old daughter Maya, the reaction was pure excitement. “She was so happy,” Gadot recalls. “She said, ‘Mommy, you’ll be a perfect Snow White.’”

But the fairytale fantasy didn’t last long. Gadot’s eldest daughter, Alma, quickly stepped in to clear things up: “She’s not playing Snow White. She’s playing the Evil Queen.” The revelation left Maya heartbroken — at least for a moment.

“I told her, ‘It’s okay, honey — sometimes it’s fun to be bad,’” Gadot says with a laugh.

For the actress, known for her strength, warmth, and radiant charm, playing a villain offered a refreshing creative challenge. “The Evil Queen is so over-the-top — she’s dramatic, vain, and bold. It was such a joy to explore that side of storytelling,” Gadot explains. “It’s not often I get to let loose and just play.”

Fans can expect to see a whole new side of Gadot — complete with extravagant costumes, sharp wit, and even a few musical numbers. The actress not only performs in the film but also showcases her singing talent, proving that her versatility extends well beyond superhero action.

Off-screen, Gadot continues to captivate in the world of fashion and photography. Her recent red-carpet appearances have balanced elegance with edge — much like her portrayal of the Evil Queen. “It’s all about having fun and feeling powerful in whatever you wear,” she says.

As Disney’s Snow White prepares to make its grand debut, one thing is certain: Gal Gadot’s reign as the Evil Queen will be unforgettable. After all, when it comes to commanding attention — on-screen or off — nobody holds court quite like Gal Gadot.
