Scandal-plagued Rachel Zegler defends casting as Snow White in woke Disney remake


When her casting was announced in 2021, her casting was a flashpoint of debate because she did not fit the traditional description of the character, 'white as snow.'

In one past interview, Zegler had revealed that the new film would be going in a different direction and said of the character of Snow White: 'She's not going to be saved by the prince and she's not going to be dreaming about true love.' Peter Dinklage previously hit back at Disney for remaking Snow White which he labeled as a 'f***ing backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together.' However, insiders for Disney expressed that they, 'always intended to hold back the film's big promotional push until the final few weeks, beginning when Zegler and Gadot presented together at the Oscars on March 2.'
