The scandal plagued Snow White reboot has been dealt another blow,with leading ladies Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot caught up in an apparent feud.
American actress Zegler,23,plays the titular lead in the live action remake while Israeli star Gadot,39,plays the Evil Queen.
Their on-screen feud appears to have spilled out into real life,however,owing to the pair's opposing views on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
Both have been vocal in their support for opposite sides,with branding experts warning that such behaviour could trigger a boycott.
It came to a head when the Snow White teaser trailer was released earlier this month - with many taking issue with the casting.
The 1937 version of Snow White was the first full-length traditionally animated feature film,and Disney's first animated feature
In the trailer,the real-life dwarfs were replaced by CGI characters,dancing and singing along with Zegler.
Disney's 1937 version of the film follows Snow White as she befriends the seven dwarfs while hiding from her wicked stepmother who later poisons her with an apple before Prince Charming wakes her from her slumber with a kiss. The plot is loosely based on the 1812 fairytale of the same name by the Brothers Grimm.
At the time of its release,it became a massive hit for Disney,earning hundreds of millions of dollars across the globe. It was also the first full-length traditionally animated feature film,and Disney's first animated feature.
The new adaptation of Snow White is set to be released in March 2025.
