After Rachel Zegler hit the stage at Disney’s D23 fan event to introduce the first official trailer of “Snow White,” she thanked supporters effusively in an X post. One minute later, she added an afterthought in the same thread: “and always remember, free palestine.” Many inside the studio expressed shock that the “Snow White” star would commingle the promotion of its $270 million tentpole with any kind of political statement. A Disney executive raised the studio’s concerns with Zegler’s team, while the film’s producer Marc Platt flew to New York to speak directly with her. But Zegler stood her ground, and the post remained. wp.me/pc8uak-1lFArD
