Rachel Zegler, cast as Snow White in Disney's live-action remake, faced backlash after calling the original 1937 animated film "weird" and "extremely dated." She argued for modernizing the story, which sparked criticism, particularly from fans and conservatives.
Tensions also emerged between Zegler and co-star Gal Gadot, with reported disagreements over their political views, especially regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict.Jonah Platt, son of producer Marc Platt, also criticized Zegler's pro-Palestine posts, claiming they contributed to the film's disappointing box office performance.
These controversies, combined with production challenges, have overshadowed the release of Disney's Snow White, impacting its reception and financial success.
