Rachel Zegler is opening up about the backlash she faced for starring in the upcoming Snow White reboot.

After news broke of Zegler’s casting, she was met with outrage by fans due to her Colombian heritage. Zegler went on to say that the live-action film would have a “modern edge” compared to the original one, which was released in 1937. She explained in a 2022 interview with ExtraTV that the remake would not have Snow White “be saved by the prince” nor “dreaming about true love” — instead it would focus on “becoming the leader she knows she can be.

In the original fairy tale, Snow White was given her name due to her fair complexion. Zegler noted that the meaning behind her character’s name in the reboot has a different origin.
