In June 2021, Rachel Zegler was cast as Snow White in the live-action version of the movie, which was announced as being in production since 2016.

At the D23 conference in 2022, trailer footage was shown and Zegler was interviewed, during which she spoke out about the film and her role. On September 10th, 2022, this interview with Variety was then uploaded to the company's YouTube channel. In the footage, Zegler describes her modern version of Snow White as no longer dreaming of true love or being saved by a Prince, leading to initial outbursts of people taking her words as criticism against the original film and its core plot elements, as well as some making comments about the casting decision.
