Gal Gadot skips European ‘premiere’ of Snow White film after Gaza controversy

Hollywood star Gal Gadot skipped the European “premiere” of Disney’s Snow White remake after the film was plagued by controversies including conflicting views between cast members over Gaza.

The Disney live-action remake, which will be released in UK cinemas on March 21, was shown at a pared-back screening in Spain on Wednesday night with only one star in attendance.

While Israeli actress Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen, was notably missing, the Columbian-American actress Rachel Zegler, who plays Snow White, performed for a modest crowd in a remote castle north-west of Madrid.

Zegler, who has been at the centre of the marketing campaign for a film beset by controversy, was filmed singing Waiting on a Wish at the screening, branded by the entertainment giant as the film’s “European event” rather than a traditional premiere.

Disney has decided to pare back the Hollywood premiere of the film in Los Angeles on Saturday amid a string of controversies.

Zegler, who previously said she has been “public with a pro-Palestine stance since 2021”, was pictured in attendance at the castle in the city of Segovia alongside the film’s director Marc Webb.
