"After an article reported that Rachel Zegler “trashed” the production of Disney's Snow White due to her stance on Palestine, thousands online are applauding her vocal stance this week despite the pressures of working with Disney and former Israeli army soldier Gal Gadot."

Zegler's posts on Trump added another audience demographic, Trump supporters, who decided to boycott Snow White, in addition to pro-Palestine audience members who were boycotting the film for its inclusion of Gadot, and pro-Israel audience members for Zegler's firm stance on Palestine.

Poor Disney! The reviews aren't helping either.

It's #20 on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_films btw 😂

I can’t believe Disney got full political compass unity by offending every demographic. Props for them ending the culture war.

Who watches a movie because the actress aligns with their political views

I can't believe Disney of all companies would hire such a blatant anti-semite ...

/s for the people in the back.

Gal Gadot is also in it and she supports Israel. So just close your eyes when she is on screen.

Ohhhh shhhhit. Extra bold move for the Snow White actress.

on a semi related note: can we chill with the damn remakes already? the damn cartoon from the last century still holds. some of the billions of remakes are also watchable.

we don't fucking need 400 reheated movies a year. make 1 or 2 good original ones. how many times have i seen snow white in the last decade?

is it just me that thinks this is a massive waste of resources than could have been put into something good?

DIdn't click link, but I'm guessing it's not Gal Gadot.
