The live action of Disney's Snow White is dressed in controversy in the midst of the chaotic press trip.
From a 'secret' European premiere in Spain with Zegler the only star present on rumors about cast feet, the promotion tour has so far been a bumpy tour.
The American star Zegler, 23, plays the titular lead in the remake, while Israeli actress Gadot, 39, plays the angry queen.
But their feud on the screen seems to have been spilled in real life, because of the opposing views of the couple about the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Eyebrows were erected when Disney skipped a British premiere in favor of a VIP event in a remote Spanish castle with a limited press, whereby the malignant Queen Gadot was noticeably absent.
Zegler stuck to a remote castle in Segovia, Spain, to perform for around 100 Select 'VIPs', including influencers.

Instead of the usual list of important news exhausts that flowed to the event, local Spanish influencers and families from the small city of Segovia, which contains a population of only 51,000, belonged to the chosen 'VIPs' present.
The Co-star Gadot of Zegler was also absent, with only director Marc Webb Zegler accompanied by the event.
Later this week the cast returns to the United States, with Zegler and Gadot expects to attend a pre-party and screening in the El Capitan Theater van Los Angeles on March 15, where 'reporting will be limited to photographers and a house team'.
“Disney tends to influence influencers to interview Rachel and Gal for promotion days on Sunday and Monday,” said an industry -insider page six. “They want to concentrate on the content.”
Rumors about a feud between Zegler and Gadot were fueled after the couple were both vocal in their support for opposite sides of the conflict of Israel-Palestine.
It came to a peak when the snow -white teaser trailer was released last summer and some fans had the problem with the casting.
Some were stunned by the decision to cast a Latina actress to portray the famous 'fair-skined' character that is known as 'as white as snow'.
Others caused problems with the casting of the Jewish-Israeli actress Gadot in the midst of the current war-with pro-Palestinian viewers who claim that her recording is calling a boycott, while the reverse pro-Israel-viewers claimed that it was offensive to throw her into an 'evil' role.

Zegler has publicly taken a Pro-Palestinian attitude since 2021 and shares various tweets and messages that encouraged fans to donate to emergency aid for Gaza.

Still a few Israeli publicationS took an exception to Zegler's plea for a 'free Palestine' and suggested that she had insulted Gadot.
While Gadot – who served in the IDF for two years, also during the Israel -LeBanon war in 2006 – did not respond publicly to Zegler's remark, she raised eyebrows with her own post after the trailer was released.
She posted a photo of Martin Luther King Jr. on her Instagram comment. With his quote: 'Darkness cannot push out darkness; Only light can do that. Hate cannot dispel hatred; Only love can do that. '
Above the image she wrote: “Only love can save the world.”

Days later she seemed to make a pointed excavation at Zegler.
According to Times of Israel reporter Amy Spiro, the X-Account of Gadot briefly posted a tweet again that read 'trying to campaign on the head of your co-star, who actually lives through war, just so that you look cooler with the children, is really pathetic. ”
Although Gadot and Zegler have made it clear that they have opposing views on Israel-Palestine, they did not talk about an assumed feud between the couple.
Miss Israel 2004 said earlier this month about the conflict: 'None of us can ignore the explosion of Jewish hatred around the world.
'We have had enough of Jew Hate, we will confront anti-Semitism. We will call it, but we will never, not alone, be defeated, but define us because our love is stronger than their hatred. '
Hours later Gadot wrote that this moment is about everyone who refuses to remain silent in the light of anti -Semitism. '
“October 7 was a wake-up call, but it also reminded us of our resilience and unbreakable band,” wrote the veteran of Israel Defense Forces on Instagram.
