Many fans are looking ahead to Disney’s upcoming live-action
Snow White film with the assumption it will also fail to perform at the box office, though for very different reasons than the previous films. The quality and popularity of each of these films vary significantly, but none have been as controversial as Disney’s upcoming remake of
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).
Disney’s reimagining of the classic animated fairytale will feature big Hollywood names like Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot.
Rachel Zegler has been very outspoken regarding the upcoming film, criticizing the original at almost every chance she could get. Rachel Zegler, who portrays Snow White in the upcoming film, made a name for herself with films like
West Side Story (2021)
Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) and will star in this year’s expansion of the
Hunger Games franchise with
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Zegler has been on record saying that the love story is not important to the new
Snow White film and that the prince’s scenes, portrayed by Andrew Burnap, may be cut entirely.

Zegler has made it clear that she thinks the original character of Snow White was a helpless damsel in distress who was only able to be rescued by a prince. While this trope is true for certain Disney films, for many,
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was all about Snow White’s journey herself. Zegler has joked about removing the Prince character from the film, citing that the film shouldn’t really be about a character like that. Zegler also stated that Snow White does not need to fall in love and can instead be powerful on her own.
These comments, among others, have soured a lot of fans on this new movie, leaving many wondering how it will turn out when it is finally released. Zegler even joked that the film might not come out due to what she has said about it.
Now, ahead of the release of Disney’s
Snow White, Rachel Zegler has been dropped from another project.
