Pop singer Allen said she didn’t believe the controversy surrounding Zegler could be blamed for the film’s box office woes

Despite its high-profile cast and creative team, the film is projected to achieve only a modest global box office total of $225 million.

As Disney’s "Snow White" continues to bomb at the box office, Rachel Zegler is moving on to her next acting job. Will it be in another film or something else?

This is a culmination of years of racist backlash. Like Halle Bailey before her, when Rachel was first cast in the role in June of 2021, she received a lot of criticism from people who took issue with a Disney princess being played by a woman of color.

Whether you like the new Snow White film or you hate it, it's hard to escape the debate around its lead actress, Rachel Zegler. The 23-year-old star has dominated conversation about the film, as people either blame her for its poor reviews or leap to her defence, saying she's being unfairly maligned.

Snow White,” starring Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler, grossed only $70 million domestically and $146 million globally on a production budget of $270 million.

On “Sunday,” the “Last of Us” star, 49, posted a photo of Zegler, 23, on his Instagram Stories, tagging her and adding “icon.”

Disney 's live-action remake of Snow White has sparked controversy, largely due to comments made by its lead actress, Rachel Zegler. While her portrayal of the iconic character seeks to offer a modern take, departing significantly from the 1937 animated classic, her remarks about the film have ignited debate.

Disney's Snow White pushes Rachel Zegler past a career box office milestone, as the remake becomes her second-highest-grossing movie amid controversy.
