Heigh-Ho, no!
Gal Gadot made a solo appearance at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., on Sunday to promote the “Snow White” live-action film ahead of its release on March 21.
The “Wonder Woman” star, 39, appeared in good spirits as she joined a group of Disney’s classic villains for a photo op at the so-called “happiest place on Earth.”

On Sunday, Gadot — who stars as the Evil Queen in the film, which is a remake of the 1937 classic — united with the Maleficent, Hades and Jafar characters, as well as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, for a group photo.
The actress rocked a sleeveless pleather burgundy dress for the occasion, and accessorized with a pair of drop earrings.
The “Red Notice” actress also met with a group of little kids dressed up in costume as mini Evil Queens.
Her co-star and lead actress, Rachel Zegler, was not in attendance.
Gadot’s low-key outing comes amid ongoing rumors of “tension” between her and Zegler, who plays the titular role.

The night prior to her Anaheim outing, Gadot attended the film’s premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles.
The premiere, which was significantly scaled back by Disney given the controversy around the film, was limited to photographers and an in-house crew.
Both Gadot and Zegler attended the event; however, they did not do a Q&A or any press interviews.
Additionally, Disney decided to sensationally pull the plug on the UK premiere of the film altogether.

It comes as the co-stars were rumored to be quietly feuding, with sources telling People that they have “nothing in common” — citing their “huge age gap” and “very different political views.”
“Gal is annoyed by the movie drama,” one insider told the outlet. “She enjoyed filming. She was fine with Rachel, but they are not friends. … They did a job together and that’s it.”
Israeli-born Gadot — who also served in the Israel Defense Forces — has been vocal about her support for Israel following the Hamas terrorist attacks on Oct. 7, 2023.
However, Zegler had taken an opposing stance on the war, instead becoming a vocal ally for the Free Palestine movement amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Last August, the “West Side Story” actress celebrated the “Snow White” trailer release by writing on X, “And always remember, free palestine.”
Elsewhere, the film itself has been subject to much scrutiny after Director Marc Webb decided to replace the fairy tale’s seven dwarfs with CGI to “avoid reinforcing stereotypes” from the original film.
The decision sparked mass outrage from critics and fans of the 1937 classic, with many accusing the company of being too “politically correct” and “woke.”
The outrage was echoed by “Game of Thrones” actor Peter Dinklage, who has dwarfism.

“Literally no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken aback [when] they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White, but you’re still telling the story of ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,’” the actor, 55, said on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast in 2022.
He added, “You’re progressive in one way, but then you’re still making that f–king backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together. What the f–k are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough.”
The film faced further scrutiny when it was announced that Zegler, a Latina actress, was cast as the lead.
Zegler later faced even more backlash after calling the original animated “Snow White” “extremely dated,” and declaring that the remake wouldn’t highlight her character as a damsel in distress.
The film also faced mass boycotts after Zegler went on a social media rant against those who voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
The live-action film sees Gadot take on the role of the Evil Queen, while Zegler helms the titular role.Giles KeyteDavid Hale Hand, whose late father, Disney animator David Hand, was the supervising director for the original 1937 “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” said the new live-action film would make his father and Walt Disney “roll in their graves.”
“The original was the way it should be. From what I’ve read, [the new film] bears no reflection to the original story. It’s so far off-base that it’s ridiculous,” Hand, 93, said. “They’ve taken it and moved into the politics of what is woke.”
