Rachel Zegler Does ‘Snow White' Damage Control

February 26, 2025 Jordan Ruimy

Rachel Zegler must have received a stern talking to from Disney. The ‘Snow White’ star has now completely reversed course on her previous assertion that the backlash against her casting in the live-action was based on “misogyny.”

In fact, this sounds like totally different Zegler — the 2.0 version is now saying that fans she insulted are actually just “passionate” about an older film they really love. Aw, shucks. Zegler’s newfound appreciation for her haters occurred while she was speaking to Vogue Mexico.

It’s really important for audiences to know that Disney has found this beautiful, delicate balance between taking the animated classic that everyone knows and loves from 1937, and at the same time introducing it to this new generation.

You mean the same classic you had previously described as “creepy” and “weird”? Hey, Zegler’s allowed to change her opinion on things, an evolving mindset is always appreciated, but does anyone actually believe she’s suddenly seen the light?

From there, Zegler was then asked about the aforementioned backlash to her casting, to which she declared, “I interpret people’s feelings about this film as passion for it and what an honor to be able to be a part of something that people are so passionate about.”

Zegler’s comments come more than a year after the actress slammed the original 1937 classic, ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,’ as “weird” and “creepy,” adding that the character’s love interest, prince charming, was a “stalker.” She also described the upcoming remake as “PC Snow White.”

“Snow White” was written by none other than Greta Gerwig. Not counting the additional reshoots, which took place in summer 2023 and 2024, principal photography on the film wrapped in June 2022.

Disney must be in full panic mode on their $300M+ ‘Snow White.’ A few weeks ago, Quorum (via Deadline) reported that the Marc Webb-directed film, set for March release, was headed towards a $65M domestic opening weekend -= that’s well over half the totals of “Beauty and the Beast” ($175M) and “The Lion King” ($192M).
