Los Angeles, CA – March 21, 2025 – Rachel Zegler, star of Disney’s live-action Snow White, has shared heartfelt tributes to the film’s cast and crew on Instagram, celebrating the movie’s release, but noticeably left out her co-star Gal Gadot, as reported by People magazine on X and detailed in their article. The omission has sparked speculation about the dynamic between the two actresses, who portray Snow White and the Evil Queen in the reimagined classic, now in theaters.

Zegler, 23, posted a series of photo collections on March 20, reflecting on the transformative four years she spent on the project, from age 20 to 23. “This movie was a life-changing experience,” she wrote, highlighting the growth, challenges, and bonds she formed with the cast and crew during three magical summers filming in London. Her posts praised choreographers, camera operators, director Marc Webb, and co-stars like Dujonna Gift and Andrew Burnap, but made no mention of Gadot, 39, nor included any photos of her.
The exclusion follows reports of tension between Zegler and Gadot, with a People source revealing on March 14 that the two “have nothing in common” and differ significantly in age and political views. Despite this, both actresses presented together at the 2025 Oscars and attended the Snow White premiere in Los Angeles on March 15. However, Zegler was absent from Gadot’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on March 18.
Zegler’s tributes emphasize the familial bond she feels with the Snow White team, describing the project as one filled with “fun, magic, and love.” Fans and observers are now buzzing about the apparent rift, though a source noted that while Gadot enjoyed filming, the two are not close and “did a job together and that’s it.” The film continues to draw attention, both for its performances and the off-screen dynamics.
