Snow -white star Rachel Zegler is 'out of hand' and causes a big headache for Disney prior to the release of the film, an insider has unveiled.
A source told six that the company 'does not know what to do' with Zegler, 23, because of her repeated insistence on broadcasting her progressive views.
The actress refused to sing the beloved song, 'One Day My Prince Will Come' of the Disney Classic from 1937, which stated that it was 'strange' that the film focused on Snow White, 'love story with a man who literally stalks her'.
“We didn't do that this time. I was afraid of the original version. I think I looked at it once and never picked it up again, “Zegler said in 2022 Variety.
Instead, the melody has been replaced by feminist folk song 'Waiting on a Wish', when the $ 270 million remake is in the cinema on March 21.
Zegler said that her character will not be saved by the prince. She won't dream about true love. She dreams of becoming the leader she knows she can be ', when she spoke at the Disney Expo last year.
Moreover, her pro-Palestinian attitude is also problematic for Disney bosses, who reportedly have repeatedly called her and her agents to let her weaken about her reports about the issue.
The Israeli co-star Gal Gadot plays The Evil Queen in the film, although she and Zegler are good during filming.
“Disney's main actress got out of hand,” a source told page six. 'They don't know what to do … She is a pronounced 20-Like and Disney Chiefs have called her directly and asked her to drop her posts. They called her management, but she won't listen.
Snow White Star Rachel Zegler is 'out of hand' and causes a big headache for Disney prior to the release of the film, an insider has unveiled
The actress refused to sing the beloved song, 'One Day My Prince Will Come' of the Disney Classic from 1937, which stated that it was 'weird' that the film focused on Snow White, 'love story with a man who literally stalks her'
“It has been so because of filming. But it is binding her politics to 'Snow White' that is disturbing. '
Disney management trumpeted the casting of Zegler, who is Latina, as proof of their progressive approach.
Box Office figures, however, suggest that the step from the company to Dei, which also included the placement of contents warnings on classics such as Dumbo, has alienated some fans.
The comments of Zegler and the direction of the new snow -white film have disturbed David Hale Hand, the son of the late David Hand, who was the supervisory director for the original cartoon.
“The original was as it should be. From what I read [the new film] Does not reflect the original story, “said Hand, 93, who revealed that he will not catch the new release. “It's so far from the basis that it is ridiculous.”
He added that the changes are sufficient to let his father and Walt Disney roll into their graves. “
His wife Sandra Hand also said to page six: 'They took it and moved to the politics of what wakes up.
'They take a beautiful and beautifully drawn story and destroy what' Snow White was'.
She was also pronounced in her support for Palestine, which led to Disney bosses who would call her and begged her to weaken her messages. Displayed: Zegler on the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Zegler's co-star Gal Gadot was also under fire because of her support for Israel and was remarkably absent in the reduced Spanish premiere of Snow White
'Why can't they just leave it alone instead of thinking of a different story – turn it into a completely different character?
'David's father was so proud of the film and he would say:' What did you do? '
Zegler was recently forced to apologize after she had shared an Instagram post in which she wanted President Trump and his supporters to 'never know peace' after he won the elections.
The situation has become so precarious for Disney that the Mediaconglomaterat reportedly tries to dump traditional interviews with a red carpet because of the fear that the premiere can get involved in controversy.
In addition to fighting the views of Zegler, bosses have to take care after another of the stars of the film, the Israeli actress Gal Gadot, was hit with a petition to ban her from the Oscars about her outspoken support for her home country in the midst of Israel's bombing of Gaza.
Gadot was particularly absent in a 'secret' premiere of the film in Spain last night, where Disney did not roll out the red carpet for the Global Press.
“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.”
And while Disney has colored himself on his various cast, it also came criticism because of the presentation of the seven dwarfs.
Leading lady Rachel Zegler got out in a remote castle in Segrovia, northwest of Madrid, to perform for selected VIP guests after Disney had reduced the event after a series of scandals
A modest crowd of about 100 people stood behind Red Rope to see Zegler, because the event seemed to be a very small -scale affair – far from a usual Hollywood premiere
Jackass star Jason Acuña, who played 'woe man' and has a form of dwarf -like, initially expressed anger after test recordings showed actors without the situation playing the roles.
“You replace jobs that people could have so few people,” he told Movie Maniac in 2023. “It's for dwarfs. Why do you hire 'Snow White and the seven average people'? '
Since then, trailers have emerged that the seven dwarfs have been generated with the help of CGI, a decision director Marc Webb insists that he has made from the start.
In the meantime, actor Peter Dinklage, who played Tirion Lannister in Game of Thrones, pulled the decision to take the characters.
'They were very proud to cast a Latina actress like Snow White, but you still tell the story of Snow White and the seven dwarfs. Take a step back and look at what you do there, “Dinklage told PodCaster Marc Maron last year.
Disney is said to be terrified that the constant drumbeat of bad publicity will do cinema visitors of seeing Snow White.
The entertainment giant has sworn away from waking up, preachy films and TV programs.
But Snow White and the casting of Zelger came during a period when Disney was all-in on the policy of the dei-Type, which means that the film might have trouble throwing that reputation.
