Disney's 'Snow White' Remake Release Pushed to 2025 Amid Controversies and Backlash

Disney's 'Snow White' Remake Faces Hurdles with Accusations of 'Woke Culture', Missed Casting Opportunities, and Massive Schedule Delays, Sparking Concerns Over the Impact on Other Projects

Disney's upcoming 'Snow White' Live-action remake, starring Rachel Zegler, has been delayed till 2025 due to controversies regarding 'woke culture' and missed casting opportunities.
Zegler's interpretation of Snow White as a character not searching for true love, but instead being a brave leader, along with the decision to replace the dwarfs with 'magical creatures' has resulted in the film being tagged as 'woke' by many potential viewers.
The Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike and mixed audience reception are also notable contributors to the film's delay.
The 'Snow White' remake's delay has affected other Disney productions like Pixar's 'Elio', revealing the detrimental effect one project's controversy can have on the broader schedule.
In response to the film's backlash, The Daily Wire— a conservative news outlet— announced their own version of 'Snow White' starring Brett Cooper, as a counter to Disney's 'woke' approach to the traditional fairy tale.
