The studio reportedly opted for a smaller rollout for Snow White following backlash from changes to the film's plot and characters, along with bold political opinions from its stars, Rachel Zegler (Snow White) and Gal Gadot (Evil Queen).
Reasons for the scaled-back premiere have not been confirmed, but the latest Snow White iteration has generated various controversies since the production began four years ago.
Hollywood veteran Martin Klebba, known for his work on Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, spoke to The Post after news broke that the Los Angeles, California, premiere of “Snow White” scheduled for March 15 would be scaled back due amid the controversies surrounding the film, including its portrayal of the titular princess’ beloved “dwarfs.”
