The article from MSN discusses Disney's decision to scale back the Hollywood premiere of the live-action "Snow White" film due to controversies surrounding its stars, Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot.

Additionally, her casting as a Latina actress in a traditionally white role has sparked debate. Meanwhile, Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen, has also been at the center of controversy, though specifics on her situation are less detailed in the article.
