In a new interview, Rachel Zegler reveals Snow White's big "I Want" song in the remake is a new song titled "Waiting on a Wish". She starts talking about
Snow White at around the 10:35 minute mark of this
podcast (via
Disney Live-Actions Brasil).
Part of what she said is featured in this article:
As a Hunger Games fan, Zegler seems just as excited for the finished movie as she is for the role. “If I were sitting at home, having read Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, I would be so thankful that, 13 years later, I’m still getting a new Hunger Games movie,” she says. “No matter what they do with it, I’m just gonna love it.”
That’s how Zegler feels with Snow White too—her mother’s favorite Disney movie. Considering her closeness to her mom, there’s no world where she wouldn’t audition for the role. Now when Zegler goes to Disney World, she’s overcome with emotion seeing little kids dressed as Snow White. In fact, she can’t help but burst into tears when she spots them. In very “mirror, mirror on the wall” fashion, when Zegler looks at the children so connected to Snow White that they want to embody the fictional princess, she sees herself reflected back to her. Zegler was that kid. “I was just a kid who was singing at people’s weddings to make money,” she says. “Your dreams are so possible, and you don’t even know that they are. You have no idea what you’re manifesting in your childhood. My message has always been kindness first, and that is something that Snow White was really a beacon of when the cartoon first came out.”
As Snow White once said, “Remember, you are the one who can fill the world with sunshine.”

In another interview, she comments on the leaked photos of her in the Snow White dress:
I did get paparazzied, and it was terrifying. I was like in the woods, in London, and all of a sudden a guy with a camera pops put, and I was like, ‘What are YOU doing here?’ And I was just chilling with my… I was wearing UGG boots, I was listening to music … and like, I had clips in my hair. I didn’t look very Disney Princess at all. But I was wearing the dress. And when I see kids in that dress, I just can’t. It’s so amazing. It’s such an amazing thing.
