In a new interview, "Snow White" star Gal Gadot argued the film was hurt at the box office by pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel.

  • Gal Gadot suggested that political pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel contributed to Disney’s Snow White underperforming at the box office, though she acknowledged other factors played a role.

  • The film, starring Gadot and Rachel Zegler, earned $87 million domestically compared to higher-performing Disney remakes; Zegler faced criticism for her pro-Palestine stance during promotion.

  • Gadot emphasized she enjoyed working with Zegler, said her “conscience is clean” regarding support for Israel, and expressed hope for peace and safety for all people.

Doing the exact same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over again will eventually show diminishing returns, and the overt racism and sexism of snow white just simply doesn’t have staying power. People don’t want that anymore. Even the blind consumers of disney.
