In a surprising turn of events, Gal Gadot has publicly criticized her co-star Rachel Zegler amidst the growing controversy surrounding Disney’s upcoming remake of “Snow White.” The film, which has faced intense backlash since its cast announcement, particularly Zegler’s casting as the titular character, has drawn ire from fans and critics alike. Many feel that the reimagining of Snow White sacrifices the essence of the beloved classic for a more modern interpretation.

The controversy escalated when Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen, broke her silence in a recent interview. She expressed that “Snow White should be something more than just a woke statement,” a remark many viewed as a direct challenge to Zegler’s portrayal. This unexpected criticism from Gadot, known for her professionalism, shocked fans and ignited a debate over the film’s direction and the casting choices made by Disney.

Zegler quickly responded on social media, defending her artistic interpretation of Snow White. She emphasized her intention to modernize the character and provide a voice that resonates with today’s audience. Zegler also highlighted the larger issue of the media pitting women against each other for sensationalism, calling for a focus on the artistry of the film rather than perpetuating negativity.

This feud has sparked widespread discussion about the implications for the film’s success. With Disney facing mounting pressure to manage this public spat between its leading ladies, the future of the “Snow White” remake remains uncertain. As fans continue to debate the merits of the film and the direction it is taking, one thing is clear: the drama surrounding Gadot and Zegler has transformed the project into one of the most talked-about films in Hollywood, raising questions about whether this rivalry will ultimately help or hinder its success. Only time will tell if this behind-the-scenes conflict will have lasting repercussions on the film’s reception.
