Gal Gadot Sparks Feud Rumors with Rachel Zegler at Disneyland Snow White Promotion!

BBG News

Gal Gadot joined fellow Disney villains while promoting her much-maligned new film, Snow White, at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California on Sunday.

Actress Gal Gadot, aged 39, playing the role of the Wicked Queen, was captured in a photo with several malevolent Disney figures such as Maleficent, Hades, and Jafar.

The actress also took a snap with Mickey and Minnie Mouse. 

The Israeli woman looked stunning at the event, wearing a sleeveless burgundy dress. Her brunette hair was styled in loose waves and she added some flair with dangling earrings.

On the previous evening, Gal went to the reduced version premiere of Snow White that took place at Los Angeles’ famous El Capitan Theatre.

I, as a dedicated follower, have observed that the movie has been tagged as “woke” due to concerns about its message overtaking its narrative focus. There’s also speculation circulating about an alleged dispute between the two leading actresses, Gal and Rachel Zegler.

And while she and Gal painted on smiles to pose for snaps together, fans were quick to spot the tension between them, amid claims of a feud behind the scenes.

One person on X observed, ‘Those are some bad, fake, forced smiles; none of the smiles are reaching their eyes.’

Another agreed, adding, ‘Guarantee the smiles dropped as soon as they were done with the picture.’

Regarding a picture with producer Marc E. Platt sandwiched between the two actresses, someone wrote, ‘It looks like he’s restraining them, as if they were two fierce animals ready to attack one another.’

A different individual posted a picture showing adversaries pretending to be friendly as they held weapons hidden from view, drawing a parallel with Rachel and Gal’s deceptive friendship.

It has been widely speculated that there is a behind-the-scenes clash between the live action film’s two leading stars.

Based on her nationality and apparent stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it’s thought that Gal Gadot may hold opposing views regarding this ongoing issue as she is an Israeli native.

A source recently told People that the two stars ‘have nothing in common’ and added, ‘On top of that, their political views differ, adding to the tension.’ 

In the face of numerous debates and disputes surrounding the movie, the management chose to host a quiet matinee viewing session, with the star attractions being local kids.

Earlier this week, Gal had missed the secret screening of the movie. However, this time, both Gal and the main actress, Rachel, were present at the event. They took some rather stiff photos together.

Shining a light on bosses’ attempts to limit the difficult questions Rachel could face about the film, a select number of photographers, far smaller than the number expected for a Disney premiere, were invited.

Due to a string of controversies and public relations disasters surrounding the Snow White remake, Disney has decided to limit its grand premieres to only a few select, carefully managed press events instead.

Noting the number of children that made up the guest list, the screening, held at LA’s El Capitan Theatre, took place at 3:30pm after a pre-party celebration that lasted just 90 minutes, according to Variety.

Rather than encountering numerous media outlets, typically associated with large-scale Disney productions, the cast exclusively interacted with interviewers hired by Disney. An example is Jodi Benson, the voice behind Ariel from Disney’s 1989 animated film “The Little Mermaid.

Cast members Martin Klebba, Jason Kravits, George Salazar, Andy Grotelueschen, Emilia Faucher, Lorena Andrea, Dujonna Gift, and Idris Kargbo, as well as director Marc Webb, screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson, producers Marc Platt and Jared LeBoff, songwriters Justin Paul and Benj Pasek, composer Jeff Morrow and cinematographer Mandy Walker also walked the red carpet.

Highlighting the local kids attending the occasion, the pre-event festivities provided a variety of donated attractions to amuse and keep the young participants engaged as they anticipate the main event.

A significant number of kids at the opening event were members of the Boys & Girls Club, specifically from the San Fernando and Malibu branches.

During the screening, Rachel did briefly address the backlash that has surrounded the film.

Speaking about the reaction she’s had as the movie’s young star, Rachel explained she interprets people’s feelings about it as ‘their passion for’ the character.

She expressed: ‘It’s truly a privilege to contribute to something that sparks such intense emotion in others. Since our feelings may not always align with those around us, our only option is to offer our very best selves.’

The actress struck a pose in an elegant, light-pink ball gown featuring a long, flowing satin skirt. During her photo session, she briefly greeted some youthful admirers dressed as the legendary princess character.

Snow White will hit theaters on March 21.
