Being cast in a major Disney remake should be any actress’s Cinderella story. But from the moment Rachel Zegler’s casting in Snow White went public, it became clear it was a poisoned apple.
The 23-year-old American actress was revealed as Disney’s new Snow White four years ago, in 2021, where it was met with immediate backlash. Zegler, who is from Colombian descent, has been decried as the ‘woke’ version of Snow White purely due to her non-Caucasian heritage.
