Gal Gadot in her first villain role as the Evil Queen in Disney’s ‘Snow White’

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — When “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” debuted in 1937, we met Walt Disney’s very first princess and his first villain: the Evil Queen.

Stepping into the sinister and vain role in the new live action reimagination of the beloved classic film is Hollywood A-lister, Gal Gadot.

Action News reporter Alicia Vitarelli was at the world premiere in Hollywood and spoke to Gadot about playing her very first anti-hero.

She says it was fabulous, theatrical and, in her words, “delicious.”

“‘Magic Mirror on the wall…’ – to be able to say this line is just like, wow! I needed to find my voice for a second,” Gadot says. “It was very, very special.”

It’s also something very different for Gal Godot.

The Israeli born actress rose to fame as Wonder Woman and now she’s taking her first walk on the dark side as one Disney’s most iconic villains, the Evil Queen.

“She’s fun, she’s stylish, she’s chic, but she’s also dark and strong and solid and grand. It was a lot of fun. The best part was being able to do something I’ve never done before,” says Gadot.

There’s also something else we haven’t seen her do before: sing! Gadot gets a brand new villain song called “All is Fair.”

“It was a lot of fun,” Gadot says. “I think about the day when we filmed the song and I get chills because it was one of those pinch-me type of moments. I’m really, really grateful. I’m a lucky girl,” says Gadot.

Gadot is the mother of four girls, three of them were by her side for the world premiere.

“The three year old was the youngest one I brought,” she says. “From three to 13, they all came. But the three year old always gets so scared when she sees the bad guy. I think because I was the bad guy, she wasn’t as afraid anymore. It was great.”

The girls and her husband were by her side again Tuesday when she got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

She says entering the Disney legacy is for them and the next generation of fans.

“We live in a world where there’s been so much tension and so many things that have been going on,” she says. “I think this is a perfect escapism, a reminder of magic and kindness. It’s like bringing a ray of light to the world.”

“Snow White” is in theaters March 21st.

The Walt Disney company is the parent company of this station.
