Disney Scales Back 'Snow White' Premiere Amid Controversies

The live-action remake has faced backlash over casting, political views of its stars, and updates to the original storyline.

Disney has opted for a smaller Hollywood premiere for its live-action 'Snow White,' limiting media access to photographers and an in-house crew.
The film, starring Latina actress Rachel Zegler as Snow White, has drawn criticism from some for its diverse casting and feminist reinterpretation of the character.
Peter Dinklage and others have criticized Disney's portrayal of the seven dwarfs, prompting the studio to consult with the dwarfism community and cast actors of various races and backgrounds.
The political views of lead actors Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot have added to the controversy, with Zegler's pro-Palestinian stance and Gadot's support for Israel sparking polarized reactions.
Despite the controversies, the film is expected to open on March 21, with industry projections estimating a potentially strong box office performance.
