Rachel Zegler (Shazam! Fury of the Gods, West Side Story) is set to play the title role in Disney's upcoming live-action remake of Snow White, and recent interview clips (conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike) with the actress have started doing the rounds online.

We already know that Disney has made a few significant changes to the original story, and in this latest clip, Zegler explains why the "problematic" love story has been altered for a modern-day audience.

"The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so," she says when asked how this new take on Snow White will differ from the animated classic. "There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird. So, we didn't do that this time."

"[The new movie] is really not about the love story at all, which is really, really wonderful," she added. "All of [the Prince's] scenes could get cut, who knows? It's Hollywood, baby."

Zegler was clearly joking about the Prince's scenes being cut, but her comments have still raised the ire of the usual suspects online. The thing is, she's not wrong. If you go back and watch the original Snow White, there are quite a few aspects that would be more than a little problematic in today's climate.

The usual suspects? You mean the people who are sick of crappy remakes and just want good movies?
