An original actress Colombian-American actress will play Snow White in the new version prepared by the Disney production company with real characters.
It has become very fashionable for the producer of the mouse Miguelito to make live action versions (with flesh and blood characters) of his most iconic films in history. In fact, the first photos of the filming of The Little Mermaid appeared in its new version with an actress of African origin and now, the image of the woman who will personify Snow White has been revealed and to the surprise of many, she has some Latin roots.
The selection of an actress of Latin origin (at least partially) to interpret this character has aroused praise for Disney, since many complained that the protagonists of their films were always women essentially of North American or European origin, which generated support for many racial stereotypes.
