Rachel Zegler, 23, and Gal Gadot, 39, appeared side-by-side at the Hollywood premiere of Disney’s live-action Snow White remake, dispelling rumors of a behind-the-scenes feud. The scaled-back event, held at the El Capitan Theatre, came amid controversies over the film’s modern reinterpretation and reported tensions between the stars over differing political views.

Zegler, playing Snow White, stunned in a peach strapless gown with butterfly embellishments and a flowing skirt, accessorized with silver jewelry. Gadot, portraying the Evil Queen, opted for a sheer black lace dress highlighting her toned physique. The duo smiled alongside director Marc Webb, producer Marc E. Platt, and songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

Speculation of a rift emerged due to their contrasting stances on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with a source telling People they “have nothing in common.” However, their red-carpet camaraderie suggested unity. Disney reportedly minimized the premiere’s scale to avoid backlash over the film’s “woke” updates, including critiques of the original’s storyline and casting.

Controversies and Criticism
The remake has faced scrutiny since Zegler’s 2022 comments calling the original plot “weird” and the prince a “stalker.” Her casting as a Latina Snow White also drew ire, prompting her to address critics: “I’m not bleaching my skin.” Meanwhile, actor Martin Klebba (voicing Grumpy) criticized Disney for downplaying the dwarfs, calling it a disservice to the classic tale.

Disney’s lack of confidence in the film was evident as insiders revealed the studio rushed promotions, with one source stating, “They have zero faith.” The U.K. premiere was canceled, and the L.A. event limited press access.

Absences and Attendees
Andrew Burnap (Prince Charming) missed the premiere due to Broadway commitments. Attendees included Rachel Bloom in a printed pantsuit and Lorena Andrea (Good Queen) in a pink gown with a dramatic cape.

Zegler’s Response
Zegler avoided addressing controversies at a recent airport encounter but later told Vogue Mexico, “I understand the passion people have for the original. We aimed to balance respect for the classic with a fresh perspective.”

Despite Disney’s challenges, Zegler performed “Waiting on a Wish” at a secret Spain screening, though insiders label her a “loose cannon” for blending politics with promotion.

Snow White releases March 21, testing whether Disney’s gamble on a modern twist will resonate.
