Tensions are brewing in Hollywood as the upcoming Disney remake of “Snow White” faces mounting criticism and controversy, particularly surrounding its lead actresses, Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler. As the film’s release approaches, discussions about the project have escalated, with reports suggesting a significant rift between the two stars.
Sources indicate that Zegler, who has garnered both attention and backlash for her outspoken political views, is being closely managed by Disney during press engagements. Critics argue that the studio is attempting to mitigate the backlash generated by her comments, including remarks aimed at Trump supporters and her vocal support for Palestine. This has led to speculation that Zegler is being kept “on a leash” to avoid further controversy.
Meanwhile, Gadot, a former member of the Israeli military, appears to have taken a subtly pointed stance in her recent speech at an Anti-Defamation League event. Although she did not mention Zegler by name, her remarks about not celebrating hostility seem to echo the ideological differences between the two actresses, igniting speculation of a feud. Observers noted a palpable tension between them during a recent awards ceremony, further fueling rumors of discord.
The film itself has come under scrutiny as discussions around its storyline and themes raise questions about representation and gender roles in modern adaptations. Critics argue that Disney’s attempts to update the classic tale may not satisfy audiences who cherished the original.
As the buzz surrounding the film intensifies, industry watchers are eager to see how these dynamics will play out in the lead-up to its release. With critics expected to weigh in heavily, especially given the political undertones, the fate of this “Snow White” remake remains uncertain. Fans and detractors alike will be keenly observing how Gadot and Zegler navigate this complex landscape in the coming months.
