The recent premiere of Disney’s “Snow White” has been marred by reports of tension between co-stars Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler. The event, which took place at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, featured a significantly scaled-back red carpet, with only Disney-approved journalists permitted to conduct interviews. This was a departure from the usual bustling atmosphere of such premieres, raising questions about the film’s reception and the dynamics among its stars.

As Zegler stepped onto the carpet, she was greeted by a limited number of photographers, a stark contrast to the typical fanfare. Gadot, who portrays the Evil Queen, followed, both actresses maintaining smiles despite an undercurrent of awkwardness. Sources indicate that the two do not share a friendly rapport behind the scenes, with differing political views and personal interests contributing to the tension. An insider noted that Zegler has “nothing in common” with Gadot, who is also a mother of four.

Speculation surrounding Zegler’s comments about the film’s themes has further fueled friction. Gadot reportedly disapproves of her co-star’s public criticisms, emphasizing the importance of professionalism and decorum in such projects. While both actresses have appeared together at multiple events, including the Academy Awards, the perceived animosity suggests a challenging working relationship.

The premiere’s muted atmosphere coincides with predictions of a lackluster opening weekend for “Snow White,” with estimates hovering between $48 and $58 million. This places the film closer to Disney’s “Dumbo,” often labeled a modern flop, than to more successful adaptations like “Beauty and the Beast.”

As the film moves forward, the dynamics between Gadot and Zegler may play a pivotal role in shaping public perception and audience reception. With both actresses continuing to promote the film, it remains to be seen how their relationship will influence the overall success of this highly anticipated Disney remake.
