18 Oct – Rachel Zegler has no qualms with people mocking her upcoming movie, the Disney live-action remake of "Snow White", for being "politically correct". The Colombian-Polish actress, who will play the titular role in the movie that co-stars Gal Gadot, stated that she doesn't care about the jokes people made about the movie for being too PC, stressing that they needed that.
It is noted that aside from her casting as Snow White, which has been mocked for supposedly being a performative activism on Disney's part, it was previously reported that consultants have also been brought in to address the representation of the film's dwarfism community. Said a Disney spokesperspon about the consultants, "To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community. We look forward to sharing more as the film heads into production after a lengthy development period."
