Why Rachel Zegler Hasn't Been Cast In A Movie Since Snow White

As Disney's live action Snow White remake continues to be attacked online, things are also not looking great for the Snow White actress herself Rachel Zegler, who it appears hasn't been hired since the Snow White backlash begun. And she also exited the Paddington movies in which many people believe she was actually fired from the film. So in this video I break down all the potential reasons for why she hasn't been hired for a single movie yet.

My nephew is an executive at a major studio and has told me Zegler has not been blackballed. Rather, her audience "likability index" value, which is closely tied to acquiring funding for projects is essentially at zero. In short, she's viewed as a liability rather than an asset, which equates to box office poison.

Considering “Paddington” is produced by David Heyman, who is the most successful producer in Hollywood and the UK, means Rachel Zegler will never be cast in another major film production again. She was cast in those other films, because producers had no idea how difficult she was to work with yet. Pretty sure, Steven Spielberg regrets discovering her. Zegler will go the way of Emma Watson, and “retire” from acting by 25.

[@katydid917]

Yea, but at least Emma Watson made her money before she became an annoying weirdo.

[@TheMalfean]

The difference between Rachel and Halle, is that Halle did not disparage the Little Mermaid. The whole racial change thing literally had nothing to do with her personally. She did not, for example, mock the original movie, call Eric a stalker, etc. And she didn't go after her co-star and make political statements.

Only one thing. "I did this cause I needed a job"- shouldn’t be a bad thing. She can study the film materials later but at first needing a job is the sole reason people do things. She deserves hate for all the other shit she did though.

[@iamsatanjr]

I understand your logic, but it just doesn't apply here, because in this sutuation it's not about her needing a job like any other person - it's her not showing any passion to a franchise that many people are passionate about. By answering this way, she essentially insulted everyone who's a fan of DC: if one of the main actors comes off completely dismissive and uninterested in the movie, laughs at it and says "i did it because moni lol" - that feels like an insult to fans. And as a turn-off to everyone else. Also, another reason why people didn't like it is the same reason why all the big KZbinrs and streamers tend to get shit for complaining about how being an influencer is hard, or start talking about how it's a job like any other. Sure, it might have its challenges, but from the viewpoint of a normal person with all kinds of normal people struggles, you lose all rights to complain after a certain amount of zeros in a bank account. Simply put, most people don't see Hollywood acting as a job - they see it as a never-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and to them the whole "i needed a job lol" thing comes off as Zegler being both entitled and ungrateful. I mean, when an average person says the sentence "i needed a job" it's usually about something low-paying and/or degrading, like cleaning shit-clogged toilets for a minimum wage or something - and definitely NOT about a major movie role that pays millions of dollars.

Zegler seemed to believe that she could say anything, and because she was such a "big star" it would be accepted. This is a failure on the part of the studios. They should have gotten to her before her interviews, gone over possible questions, told her to hype the movie and show some respect for a groundbreaking classic, and, most of all, come off as honored she was chosen for this great responsibility. But lets not forget the "Dinklage backlash", the change to "seven magical creatures", and then finally. those horrible looking animated dwarfs. This has been mishandled in so many ways, but everyone puts the blame on Zegler, when there are many more who did not do an adequate job preparing her.

She still opened her mouth and ran with it though. I’m not even a professional actor and even I know that what I say or do is going to reflect on my professional reputation. That’s why I keep my opinions to myself when I’m on the clock and am very careful what I say and do when I’m off.

Rachel Zegler is a leason to all young starlets, she is now unmarketable. She ran her mouth and said the quiet things said behind closed doors for everyone to hear and therefore cannot be trusted not to torpedo any future projects. She is replaceable with thousands of young actresses that don't come with the toxic baggage. She was young and naive and this has cost her which could have been a successful career.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

A common thing I hear on the commentary for TV shows when a new character is added is that the actor just got along so well with the cast and crew that they found a way of working them into the production on a more regular basis. The same thing can happen if the character is just popular, but it's a lot easier to do if you're somebody the other people involved in production want to spend time with.

It was a politically motivated casting decision, but it's at least one that can be explained as there are black people with red hair and there's no inherent reason why a mermaid can't be black. And she had the good sense not to light the entire franchise on fire while doing promotional work for it.

Also, to be fair, the movie was set in the Carribean instead of Denmark, so the race swap eventually made sense and people could get behind it (Disney did a horrible job with color grading tho, that haircolor did not suit her, they did her dirty!) In this case, casting a tan person for a role described as "skin white as snow" (which are the exact words in the animated movie AND the German fairytale) is just.... plain stupid.

Political, and sociopolitical, participation is not optional. "Silence is violence, silence is complicity, everything's political and if you're not with us, you're against us."

That was Disney's choice, not hers. - they're the ones who are silently letting Rachel take all the heat and turn this into "I'm not watching this bc of Rachel" when it should be "I'm not watching this bc this is the culmination of everything Disney has been doing for the past 10 years."
