If there’s one thing that’s just as controversial as Disney’s new Snow White film, it’s politics, and the Zegler sisters seem to be involved in both

After months of growing controversy, Disney’s reboot of the classic 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarves has finally been released.

Starring Rachel Zegler – who caused a stir for calling the original film’s storyline “weird” and the prince a “stalker” – Snow White has been met with mixed reviews so far. In addition to cast dramas, some have criticised the film’s “woke” approach to the seven dwarves and the casting of a Latina actress in the lead. Others, however, have praised Zegler’s performance in the film, with The Hollywood Reporter calling her “incandescent” and saying she sold the film with “conviction and heart”.

Zegler defended her earlier comments in an interview with Variety in 2023. “I just mean that it’s no longer 1937, and we absolutely wrote a Snow White that’s not gonna be saved by the prince, and she’s not gonna be dreaming about true love,” she explained. “She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave, and true. And so, it’s just a really incredible story for young people everywhere to see themselves in.”

Zegler, 23, is no stranger to controversy though, and is rumoured to also be in a feud with her co-star Gal Gadot over the Israel-Palestine conflict – at least according to a source who spoke to People magazine.
