Part 3/8:
What makes this situation even more problematic is Zegler’s apparent disdain not just for Snow White but also for the entire legacy of the beloved fairy tale. Critics argue that casting someone openly negative toward such a cultural icon sends a damaging message, especially when the actress appears dismissive of the very story she is set to portray.
Furthermore, her comments indicate a perception that her approach to the character is modern or "updated," but many see this as a sign of disrespect rather than innovation. Instead of paying homage to the source, she seems to trivialize it, making the upcoming adaptation a contentious project from the outset.
