Part 5/7:
The upcoming press tour looms large for Zegler and Disney. With critics poised to scrutinize every word or action, the general sentiment seems to be that it will be an open season for commentary. While some might argue that Zegler has successfully redirected discussions away from her ethnicity—initially a point of contention—it's clear that the focus has turned to criticisms of her personal views and public demeanor.
A Potential Turning Point
Many involved in the discourse speculate that although removing Zegler from promotional materials is an attempt to minimize negative visibility, it's only a stopgap strategy. The fear is that this film could further harm Disney's reputation, especially after their ambitious plans for a successful box office turn.
