Announced in 2021, Zegler’s casting itself was a bone of contention. The actress is of Colombian and Polish descent, and some social media users felt she was miscast because the character is described, in the original Brothers Grimm fairy tale, as having “skin as white as snow”. There was a similar outcry in 2019, when Disney announced African-American actress Halle Bailey would play the title role in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid (2023), even though the character in the 1989 animated version is white.
