Disney announced a slew of release date changes today, delaying the live-action Snow White by a year and removing the Jonathan Majors-starring Magazine Dreams from the calendar.
Snow White, starring Rachel Zegler as the eponymous princess and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, has been pushed from March 22, 2024, to March 21, 2025. Magazine Dreams, meanwhile, was previously dated for Dec. 8, 2023, but is now simply "unset," per Disney's announcement.
Animated movie Elio was also pushed back more than a year, from March 1, 2024, to June 13, 2025. Additionally, another untitled Disney movie was delayed from Feb. 14, 2024, to April 5, 2024, while two other untitled Disney and Pixar projects - previously set for March 21, 2025, and June 13, 2025, respectively - were removed from the schedule.
Disney also released a first look image at Snow White, featuring Zegler in costume and giving a glimpse at the seven dwarves, which you can see below.
Dreams Halted
Magazine Dreams stars Majors as an amateur bodybuilder struggling to find human connection, and already had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival back in January. It debuted to mostly positive reviews, but Majors has also been embroiled in controversy for most of the year.
The actor was arrested on March 25 on charges of of strangulation, assault, and harassment. Following several delays, he's set to head to trial on Nov. 29 after a New York judge denied a motion to dismiss the case. Even still, he's currently starring in Season 2 of another Disney production, Loki, as Victor Timely.
The delays come amid the ongoing Hollywood actors strike, with SAG-AFTRA and the studios continuing negotiations as the work stoppage drags past the 100-day mark. Interestingly, the studio did not address Deadpool 3, which was deep into filming as the strike was called. Director Shawn Levy has previously said it's in "true risk" of missing its May 3, 2024 release date as the strike continues.
