Megyn Kelly Blames Peter Dinklage for Disney’s ‘Snow White’ Shake-Up: ‘You Ruined the Acting Roles’ for ‘Other Dwarves’ (Video)

“EXCLUSIVE: Snow White and the Seven… Politically-Correct Companions?” The studio first denied the images were authentic, then backtracked and said “the photos were from the production but were not official photos,” per The Daily Beast.

It was already announced in January 2022 that following criticism from Dinklage and others, the film’s famous “seven dwarfs” would be referred to as “magical creatures” to “avoid reinforcing stereotypes.” But apparently seeing that put into practice in the set images, which featured a stand-in for Zegler’s Snow White for production’s placement and shot planning, riled up Disney’s right-wing fans anew.

In a January 2022 interview on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast, Dinklage responded to the live-action adaptation, saying that Disney should “take a step back and look at what you’re doing there.”“Literally no offense to anything, but I was sort of taken aback,” he said. “They were very proud to cast a Latino actress as Snow White, but you’re still telling the story of ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.’ Take a step back and look at what you’re doing there.

It makes no sense to me. You’re progressive in one way, but you’re still making that f–king backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together.
