Since the reporting, many fans have reacted to Zegler’s new project following her portrayal of the famed princess in the live-action remake of Disney’s Snow White.

The movie, which saw Zegler star opposite Gal Gadot’s Evil Queen, continues to tank at the box office and has been branded as the worst-performing film in Disney’s history.

Many of Zegler’s fans showed their support for the actress as they praised her for staying ‘booked and busy.’

The Snow White remake was heavily hyped up until its release, however, it has faced a string of controversies after Zegler’s controversial comments about the original cartoon film. 

In 2022, she called the original movie dated and ‘weird’ and compared the prince to a ‘stalker.’ 

Zegler has also come under fire for her political comments, which fans speculated had sparked a real-life feud between her and her co-star Gadot as they did not do interviews together amid the limited press tour. 

However, she has already lined up her comeback and will be starring opposite Marisa Tomei, 60, of My Cousin Vinny fame in her next movie role
