Disney's 'Snow White' Remake Faces Controversy, Delayed to 2025

Rachel Zegler, playing Snow White, speaks out on the film's changes and expresses excitement despite the controversy.

Disney's upcoming live-action film, 'Snow White', has been the center of controversy due to changes in the original narrative and casting choices, with Rachel Zegler, of Latin heritage, playing the titular character.
Zegler has spoken out about the changes, stating that the new adaptation will significantly deviate from the 1937 version, with Snow White aspiring to be a leader rather than yearning for true love.
Despite the controversy and a recent strike that affected the film's schedule, Zegler confirmed that the film is still in progress, with a one-year delay recently announced by Disney.
The film, originally set to release in March 2024, has been pushed back to March 2025, with speculation attributing the delay to the recently-ended Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strikes and the controversy surrounding the production.
Despite the changes and controversy, Zegler expressed excitement for the film and her role, stating, 'We’ve been working so tirelessly in London to make this beautiful movie! […] and I’m just so excited for everyone to see it!!'
