Pedro Pascal Defends Rachel Zegler Despite Her ‘Controversy’

by

After the flop of the movie “Snow White” at the box office, Marvel star Pedro Pascal publicly expressed his support for Rachel Zegler on social media.

Disaster strikes for Disney as Zegler’s Snow White fails to impress at the box office, raising concerns of a $300 million loss. Unfortunately, neither audiences nor critics are fond of this movie, evident in its Rotten Tomatoes ratings: 40% from critics and 74% from fans.

On Sunday, Pascal, famously from ‘The Last of Us’ on HBO, expressed his backing for Zegler and seemed to voice his opinion in the ongoing debate by sharing an “Icon” labeled photo of her on his Instagram Story, tagging her.

Rachel Zegler controversy

The debate about Rachel Zegler revolves around her response to the original Snow White character and the way she marketed the Disney movie.

She’s expressed that she disliked the original version, found it frightening as a child, considered Prince Charming to be a stalker, and deemed the love story as unusual.

During the promotion of the trailer, Zegler faced criticism for advocating for “free Palestine.” A recent disclosure showed that a Disney executive had to travel to New York City to advise Zegler to manage her social media more carefully. Subsequently, supporters of Zegler discovered the son of the Disney producer on social media and lashed out at him. In response, the son defended his father, placing the blame for the box office failure of “Snow White” on Zegler’s behavior.

Zegler also seemingly threatened President Donald Trump and his supporters.
