The former <em>Wonder Woman<\/em> actress broke her silence on the matter, however, while taking part in a Q&amp;A for Israel\u2019s Keshet 12\u2019s The A Talks (via Haim Etgar of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNXfQMeMJTV\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Instagram;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Instagram<\/a>). While addressing journalists, Gadot was asked about <em>Snow White<\/em>\u2019s reception and whether she was \u201cangry\u201d with how it turned out. Gadot began her appeal by discussing her experience making the movie, and she shared some thoughts on co-star Rachel Zegler:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I really enjoyed filming this movie\u2026 I even enjoyed working with Rachel Zegler.

She then went on to discuss Hollywood\u2019s response to the situation, which she believes factored into <em>Snow<\/em> not doing as well as she hoped:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In various industries, including Hollywood, there\u2019s pressure on celebrities to speak against Israel. You know, [the international situation] happened, and despite\u2026 I can always explain and try to give context about what\u2019s happening here, and I always do that. But, in the end, people make their own decisions. I was disappointed the movie was so affected by it and it didn\u2019t succeed at the box office. But that\u2019s how it goes. You win some, you lose some.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Gal Gadot, who was born in Israel and served in its armed forces for a time, has expressed support for her country of origin since the conflict with Gaza began. Ultimately, Gadot\u2019s sentiments drew backlash in some circles. The actress\u2019 comments were ultimately just one source of controversy linked to her live-action Disney film.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Snow White Was Wrapped Up In Other Matters That Sparked Negative Press<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Rachel Zegler came under fire after <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/rachel-zegler-comments-resurface-snow-170755779.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:comments she made about the Snow White character;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">comments she made about the Snow White character<\/a> amid 2022\u2019s D23 Expo resurfaced online. At the time, Zegler spoke about some of the issues she had with the 1937 version of the Disney princess and explained that her interpretation would add a few more layers to the character. The actress\u2019 comments, however, were not well received and many shared their thoughts on social media. Also accompanying those sentiments were negative comments about <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/news\/2569349\/disney-has-found-its-live-action-snow-white-and-shes-perfect\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Zegler\u2019s casting;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Zegler\u2019s casting<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Eventually, Rachel Zegler also made headlines after sharing her critiques on U.S. President Donald Trump. Zegler also drew attention for expressing support for Gaza amid the Israeli-Palestinian situation overseas.

For example, the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/rachel-zegler-may-gotten-her-210609812.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:fantasy flick trended very high;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">fantasy flick trended very high<\/a> amongst viewers after it became available for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tech.yahoo.com\/streaming\/articles\/best-disney-9-tips-most-172112198.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Disney+ subscription;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Disney+ subscription<\/a> holders.
