• Scarlett Johansson is being eyed for Mother Gothel, with talks reported but no finalized casting.
• Michael Gracey is still attached to direct, working from a script by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson.
• Disney paused the project in April after Snow White underperformed, then reconsidered following Lilo & Stitch’s roughly $1.03 billion global haul.
