Disney's 'Snow White' Remake Delayed Amid Controversy Over Lead Actress Rachel Zegler
Reports suggest Disney may reduce Zegler's screen time, introducing more scenes with a younger Snow White to mitigate backlash.
- Disney's live-action remake of 'Snow White' has been delayed to 2025 due to reshoots and controversies surrounding the film's lead, Rachel Zegler.
- Zegler's comments about the film's departure from the traditional princess romance and the possibility of cutting the male love interest sparked backlash and criticism.
- Reports suggest that Disney is considering reducing Zegler's screen time by introducing more flashback sequences featuring a younger Snow White, played by Emilia Faucher.
- Ginnifer Goodwin, who portrayed Snow White in the ABC series 'Once Upon a Time', declined to comment on the controversy, stating that Disney knows best about what works.
- Despite the controversy, Zegler saw success in the theater as Lucy Gray Baird in 'The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' and the public seemed to have started to forget about the 'Snow White' controversy.
