Our Favorite Latina Snow White Contenders

By Michael Lopez

Who wouldn’t love to be a casting agent for a high-profile film studio? Some famous director hands you the script to their latest project and you’ve got to decide which A-listers to hire. Right now that's exactly what Universal Pictures is doing, with news breaking that they’re on the hunt for a new live-action Snow White. Every hot young actress in town is up for the part, and we'd like to suggest a few Latinas for the role.

Producers of the upcoming film, Snow White and The Huntsman, are already trying to lock down Charlize Theron as the evil queen and plan to begin shooting early next year. Riley Keough (who happens to be Elvis Presley’s granddaughter) and Felicity Jones are being considered for the title role, but neither has nabbed it yet.

So here are few Latinas we think could be “fairest of them all.”

Selena Gomez is the obvious choice. This superstar-in-training even looks like the Disney character. Selena has proven her talents again and again with roles in high-profile movies and successful TV shows. Plus, you know there will be some singing by the fountain in this flick, and Selena is a perfect candidate for that job.

Jasmine Villegas already has plenty of experience interacting with cute little people and we think she’d look great next to those charismatic seven dwarves. Though the Latin pop star hasn’t quite proven her acting prowess yet (unless you count the Bieber “Baby” video), Jasmine’s got tons of charisma and would be the kind of Snow White we’d all want to root for.

At 17-years-old, Victoria Justice is just the right age to capture the innocence and maturity of Blanca Nieves. If the studio is looking for someone lower-profile than Selena, then Victoria's a great choice. We think budding Nickelodeon star would do this "breakthrough" role Justice.

Belinda may be a longshot, but she is well-versed in Disney characters. Belinda already has experience as one of its signature Cheetah Girls and looks great embracing fantasy worlds (remember the Alice In Wonderland vibe she was channeling?). What Prince Charming wouldn’t love having this Latina by his side?

We just had to include Chelsea Lately's Chuy Bravo on the list. Not to play Snow White, but an over-the-top dwarf ready to help take down the evil queen. We’re still not sure whether our favorite “little nugget” would be best suited for Happy, Grumpy or Dopey, it won't matter as long as he gets in this movie.

Who do you think would make the best Snow White? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
