Pedro Pascal Supports Rachel Zegler Amid Snow White Criticism

Pedro Pascal has publicly supported Rachel Zegler amid the backlash surrounding the live-action remake of Disney's Snow White, which has faced criticism for its casting choices and Zegler's comments about the original film. Pascal shared a photo of Zegler on Instagram captioned '#icon,' which sparked divided reactions online, with some praising his support and others criticizing it as hypocritical given the film's poor performance. Snow White has grossed $143.1 million against a production budget estimated between $209 million and $350 million, and currently holds a 41% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have pointed to Zegler's outspoken political views, particularly her support for Palestine, as factors contributing to the controversy and the film's struggles at the box office. This support from Pascal has ignited discussions about celebrity activism and its implications in the entertainment industry. Meanwhile, some have contrasted Pascal’s support for Zegler with his lack of public backing for his former Mandalorian co-star Gina Carano, who faced backlash for her controversial statements.
