Disney’s Live-Action 'Snow White' Faces Pre-Release Controversies

The upcoming film has stirred debates over casting, creative changes, and off-screen tensions between its stars.

Disney’s live-action remake of 'Snow White' has faced backlash over its diverse casting, with Rachel Zegler, a Latina actress, portraying Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen.
The film has replaced the seven dwarfs with CGI-generated 'magical creatures' following criticism about reinforcing stereotypes, including comments from actor Peter Dinklage.
Reports suggest tension between Zegler and Gadot, attributed to differing political views and limited personal rapport, with insiders noting they remain professional but are not close off-screen.
Rachel Zegler has faced criticism for her outspoken comments on social media and her characterization of Snow White as a modern, independent leader, diverging from the original 1937 portrayal.
Disney has scaled back promotional events for the film, opting for a low-profile premiere, reportedly to avoid potential controversies overshadowing the release.
