Disney's upcoming live-action musical, "Snow White," has already become a hot topic of conversation, well before its scheduled theater release on March 21, 2025. Directed by Marc Webb, this reimagining of the beloved 1937 film stars Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. The film is not just notable for its cast, but also for the tension reportedly brewing between its lead actresses. Sources indicate that the two stars are not friends despite their shared screen time.
The production team for this ambitious project includes producers Marc Platt and Jared LeBoff, with Callum McDougall serving as the executive producer. The movie features a fresh soundtrack with all-new original songs from the renowned duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Among these is a song titled "Waiting on a Wish," which adds a modern twist to the classic narrative.
Controversy has surrounded the film, largely due to reported tension between Zegler and Gadot. While the two actresses appeared together at the Oscars, sources claim their relationship is purely professional.

Rachel Zegler has been candid about her thoughts on the original 1937 animated classic, describing it as "dated" and criticizing the portrayal of the Prince as akin to a stalker. This candidness reportedly did not sit well with Gal Gadot, contributing to an underlying friction between the stars.
The drama intensified during a promotional event in Spain, which Zegler attended without Gadot. While Zegler was present to support the launch of the film, Gadot's absence further fueled speculation about their off-screen dynamics.

Despite these tensions, sources suggest that the situation is not hostile.

The film promises to be a visual and musical spectacle, with its reimagined storyline and fresh musical score poised to captivate audiences. However, the off-screen drama continues to capture public interest, overshadowing some of the creative elements of the production.
