Disney has attempted to move on the various controversies surrounding its live-action remake of Snow White. However, not even stopping press from attending the premiere has been enough to shift the narrative, with the online backlash still dominating the conversation.

People (via Toonado.com) has published a piece on the supposed tension between Snow White actor Rachel Zegler (Shazam! Fury of the Gods) and the movie's Evil Queen, Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman). Alas, it doesn't sound like they're any more fond of each other than their respective Disney characters.

Understandably, it's said that the 23-year-old Zegler "has nothing in common with Gal Gadot, a mom of four kids [and] on top of that, their political views differ, adding to the tension."

Despite that, they have appeared at a handful of events together - including the Oscars - and a source tells the site that people shouldn't look too much into Gadot's absence from Snow White's recent launch event in Spain. "This isn’t like a ‘stay away from me' situation," they said. "They were at the Oscars together. They'll be together this weekend."

Another reiterates that they "have a huge age gap and very different political views" (a reference to Gadot's support for her fellow Israelis and Zegler's thoughts on Palestine shared on social media).

"Gal is annoyed by the movie drama," the insider added. "She enjoyed filming. She was fine with Rachel but they are not friends. They have nothing in common... They did a job together and that’s it."

It also sounds like Gadot wasn't a fan of Zegler's widely criticised comments about the 1937 animated classic which kicked off much of the controversy when she referred to it as "dated" and compared the movie's Prince to a stalker.

"Gal’s attitude is that you don’t criticize and cause drama for a project you signed on to do. She just doesn’t get it," the source revealed.

Snow White is a live-action musical reimagining of the classic 1937 film. The magical music adventure journeys back to the timeless story with beloved characters Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, and Sneezy.

The movie is directed by Marc Webb and produced by Marc Platt and Jared LeBoff, with Callum McDougall serving as executive producer, and features all-new original songs from Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

Disney's Snow White opens exclusively in theaters March 21, 2025.

@Lisa89 -

Do you think there should be a U.S.-Mexico border?

Kadara - 3/15/2025, 11:20 AM

@MakeAmericaGrea - What a weird question, you know there's a border right?

McMurdo - 3/15/2025, 12:00 PM

@Kadara - he's schizophrenic. It's a compulsion.

@Kadara - just use that block button man, it works wonders if you just like to come here for civil comics conversation. Don't feed trolls, just let them speak into a void, maybe he'll tucker himself out

Kadara - 3/15/2025, 4:15 PM

@NonPlayerC - I appreciate all the warnings, thanks guys!

"Gal’s attitude is that you don’t criticize and cause drama for a project you signed on to do. She just doesn’t get it,"

Absolutely a good point.

That said not going to watch this movie. It isn't worth the time or energy.

Best wishes to those that get dragged there by their kids/significant others, I hope it ends up enjoyable

ObserverIO - 3/15/2025, 10:47 AM

@Wahhvacado - Zegler criticized the fairy tale and the original movie saying that the new movie would be slightly more feminist. She wasn't criticizing the new movie.

Wahhvacado - 3/15/2025, 10:53 AM

@ObserverIO - I don't disagree, that said I can see how Gadot would interpret it differently especially since Gadot and Zegler are on opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to Palestine/Israel.

That said it is still a good point for any project, at least while you are still under contract to represent the movie/television

I do get some level of enjoyment when I see actors dog on a project years after the fact

SpideyPuffsMJ - 3/15/2025, 10:14 AM

Lol Marc Webb is directing this? Poor bastard

MakeAmericaGrea - 3/15/2025, 11:16 AM

@SpideyPuffsMJ -

He's a true believer.

He whistled while he checked off boxes making 'SNo White and the Seven Goblins.

DocSpock - 3/15/2025, 10:14 AM

Gadot is a professional actor. Zegler is a snot-nosed brainless Hollywood nitwit.

Of course they have nothing in common.

ProfessorWhy - 3/15/2025, 10:18 AM

@DocSpock - is Zegler not a professional actor or is this a nothing comment on a nothing article on a nothing story? Sky!!!✊️!

r0njeremy - 3/15/2025, 10:36 AM

@DocSpock - Your a dumbass who doesnt understand the dynamic of gadot support of the isreal government and rule over the Palestine people and zegler supports the children of palestne to exist and have a human right to live . its more than a crappy movie but real life

MakeAmericaGrea - 3/15/2025, 11:18 AM

@r0njeremy -

You can't even spell Israel and Palestine.

Maybe you shouldn't be accusing anyone of being a dumbass, comrade.

Did you know they say Falasteen and not Palestine?

DocSpock - 3/15/2025, 11:26 AM

@ProfessorWhy -

I always wondered what it would look like if a chipmunk learned to type.

DocSpock - 3/15/2025, 11:30 AM

@r0njeremy -

I fully understand those issues and look at them from both sides which you likely never will based on your comment.

DocSpock - 3/15/2025, 11:31 AM

@r0njeremy -

Oh, and your inspiring insult shows that you are clearly ready to graduate 5th grade. Congratulations.

McMurdo - 3/15/2025, 12:04 PM

@r0njeremy - Zegler supports whatever is fashionable within the community she desperately wants to be a part of.

JacobsLadder - 3/15/2025, 12:12 PM

@McMurdo - she's a moron.

JacobsLadder - 3/15/2025, 12:13 PM

@DocSpock - don't bother.

harryba11zack - 3/15/2025, 10:20 AM

lovers?

@harryba11zack -

Time is too short for Gal to waste it on that garbage pail kid.

DarthOmega - 3/15/2025, 10:23 AM

It seemed like Gal was on board with her comments. Even coming in with her own comments while standing right beside Zegler. Do I care about the comments? No. Not really. It was stupid, but I'm not the audience for this so it doesn't matter. But Gal and Disney are on board with her views. Pretty sure that's the point of the film.

?si=7_dkjpZQVvnAzJ2a

Who knows if they like each other or not. I bet they were much friendlier before they knew each other's politics. Politics ruin everything

MakeAmericaGrea - 3/15/2025, 11:23 AM

@DarthOmega -

Yeah, Gal definitely loves Rachel's thoughts on the 1937 movie.

She should be boycotted too.

Bad politics ruin everything.

Good politics help everything.

ZiggyStarman - 3/15/2025, 11:34 AM

@MakeAmericaGrea - it’s crazy how speaking out against Israel gets the people of powers to turn against you. It happens to every Palestinian supporter from Rachel Ziegler to Andrew Tate. Leaders from both the left and the right would cancel and destroy anyone who doesn’t support Israel

Pictilli - 3/15/2025, 10:31 AM

Of course the media will try to use this to frame Gal Greenstein in a positive light and steer outrage over Bob Iger's anti white remake policies at Rachel Zegler for her pro Palestine remarks. The media was happy to defend Zegler until she spoke out against the genocide being carried out by Israel.

Forthas - 3/15/2025, 10:31 AM

It is weird because this would technically be the second film they were in together if you count Fury of the Gods!

Say YES to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) ... say NO to Stupidity, Extremism, and Ignorance (SEI) and Childish Reactionary Tantrums (CRT).

MakeAmericaGrea - 3/15/2025, 11:27 AM

@Forthas -

One could watch a crap Gadot and Zegler double feature.

McMurdo - 3/15/2025, 12:03 PM

@r0njeremy - Zegler supports whatever is fashionable within the community she wants to be a part of.

ToldYaSo - 3/15/2025, 1:51 PM

@McMurdo - Not to worry. Soon, she and the Seven pronouns will slink back into the Who Gives a Sh*t forest.

AlexGSpeaks - 3/15/2025, 10:45 AM

The amount of people mad at Zegler over a movie they were never going to see in the first place is both sad and laughable.

TheVisionary25 - 3/15/2025, 10:48 AM

@AlexGSpeaks - some people just seem to like to be in a perpetual state of outrage nowadays I think…

Truly just sad & ridiculous

MakeAmericaGrea - 3/15/2025, 11:09 AM

@AlexGSpeaks -

You comrades are so cute.

Always saying shit you don't believe, and no else thinks you believe, like that some conservatives wouldn't have seen a good version of a popular story.

MakeAmericaGrea - 3/15/2025, 11:11 AM

@AlexGSpeaks -

Do you wish Kamala Harris was president?

So you think there should be a U.S.-Mexico border?

Do you think biological males should play in female sports?

How many times did you see Brave New World in theater?
