Snow White Actor Reacts to 'Controversy' Surrounding the Live-Action Remake, Claims Disney Is 'Afraid of the Blowback'

Martin Klebba, an actor who voices Grumpy, one of the seven dwarfs, in Disney's live-action remake of 'Snow White,' shared his thoughts on the controversy surrounding the soon-to-be-released film in a new interview.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Klebba, 55 — who voices Grumpy, one of the seven dwarfs, and also serves as an advisor for the characters — reacted to the project's premiere plans that are set to take place in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 15. Ahead of its release, the film — which is directed by Marc Webb, written by Erin Cressida Wilson and features original songs from composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul — has faced backlash for a few different reasons. A source recently told PEOPLE the two "have a huge age gap and very different political views.” (The Israeli-born Gadot, who served in the Israel Defense Forces, has advocated for the release of Israeli hostages, while Zegler has voiced support on social media for Palestine amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.)
