Because, while her voice is great, I really don't dig remakes.

Snow White is not brown

I mean I don't know who she is and I haven't seen anything she's in so it's hard to really be excited or bummed about it. And like what wavesurf said about remakes

Plus how many Snow White movies do we really need now? lol

Trash, why is Disney not working on Hunchback???

I don’t really know her, but I bet she will do a good job.

I don't know her, and I'm not interested in remakes after all the ones we got or will get (TLM). Especially since it probably won't be as good as Mirror Mirror or Snow White and the Huntsman.

Snow White is not brown

Well, that's just straight-up racist, cool.

Well, Snow White is called Snow White because of how her skin is white as snow. Her mother even wished for a child with lips red as blood, hair black as the ebony wood, and skin white as snow. However, this wouldn't be the first time that Snow White was played by an actress that isn't white. Look at Kristin Kreuk (Who is Asian and not exactly a pale Asian) in Fairest of All, who is the most beautiful of all the women who have played Snow White. Makeup can do wonders.

Snow White is defined by being very light-skinned, even her name means that. Calling this woman light-skinned is like calling 6'1 man short because most of basketball players are taller. But I can accept woman that isn't naturally light-skinned by Caucasian standards as Snow White if she gets makeup for it but this actress seem to state she won't and I am not really surprised by it, I was fully prepared for Disney deciding not to do it because "making makeup to make actress look paler would send a dangerous message that only pale skin is beautiful", as if tanning is unpopular and most of Westerners still believe "women should avoid sun, there is no such thing as too pale woman", as if Jasmine, Esmeralda and Pocahontas aren't often seen as most beautiful DPs, as if anyone complained about Naomi Scott's skin not being lightened in Aladdin. And if Disney worries about the fairytale promoting wrong beauty standards, why adapting it? Or, alternatively, cast someone with Katy Perry's skin tone, the audience is more likely to be fine with it than with make-up?
The heroine, named Snow White and based on a princess from extremely well-known fairytale( so, most of people know about her looks and name origin), who has darker skin than significant amount of cast... That's weird.
Women without Snow White's iconic look playing "Snow White", Snow White archetype( a gorgeous woman who is hated by beautiful but jealous evil older woman) is completely fine but playing the character literally named Snow White( not nicknamed Snow White after vaguely similiar character), in the remake of Disney 1937 movie is a different thing... Snow White's appearance is really consitent in all retellings and adaptation.
I don't care if this woman is fully of European ancestry, even if she were European Spaniard from Andalusian village or Italian from Sicily, this doesn't change I wouldn't describe her as "pale", at least not if close to everyone else in the movie has darker skin than her( I highly this will be a thing).
Just because people call use term "white" in "everyone of European origin, even if South European origin", doesn't change that "white" in Snow White's name means a different thing.
At least Anderson's mermaid has no iconic facial features that are consistent in all adaptations and Ariel's name doesn't reflect any of her physical features that Halle Bailey doesn't have.

Only racists gonna hate on dark-skinned people like myself to try and get lighter but then pretend that whites tanning is a-okay. Hypocritical double standards. My home country of Nigeria is full of skin lightening products and it's a choice if you want to lower your skin pigment or not. Nobody gonna force you to do it if you don't like it. I'm not gonna listen to white wokes tell me that my people are race traitors or hate ourselves just cuz we wanna indulge in our country's national beauty standards. Keep Snow White white. Give us an African princess (Kenyan, Nigerian, Egyptian, IDGAF, but give us one to start with cuz Da Frog Princess does NOT represent US).

And yup, southern Europeans might be white but white folks are more than one culture. That about as racist as saying all black folks be Africans (Africa is a continent, not a country). So this chick might be white, but she is not white passing, and she is definitely not white-skinned as a southern European.

What Adelital said

Will have to wait until West Side Story remake!

She looks beautiful :)

I've never seen her before so I can't really say anything about her. The only thing I can say is: Seriously!! Another Snow White live action movie?! Couldn't they have chosen another movie or even better make a new story instead of a remake?
