Rachel Zegler’s career has had its fair share of highs and lows, with her breakout role in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story bringing her critical acclaim. However, her turn as Snow White in Disney’s live-action remake of the classic tale has sparked intense controversy.

Despite the film’s critical struggles and a poor theatrical run, Zegler’s resilience has shone through. Most recently, her portrayal of Eva Perón in the West End revival of Evita earned positive reviews, further proving her depth as an actress.

Is Disney’s Door Still Open for Rachel Zegler?

But the real question is, could Zegler bounce back in another major Disney franchise? Zegler’s enthusiasm for the Star Wars universe could certainly make her an ideal candidate for a future role in the franchise.

During a interview with CinemaBlend earlier this year, Zegler shared her love for Star Wars, expressing surprise when she learned that Princess Leia is considered a Disney Princess.

She also jokingly did an impression of Han Solo, showing her deep connection to the universe. This playful moment immediately sparked wonder among Zegler fans, many of whom expressed their desire to see the actor appear in future Star Wars projects.

Nothing Official Has Been Said

While it’s important to note that Zegler has not been officially linked to Star Wars in any capacity, the idea isn’t too far-fetched. After all, Star Wars has gone through a lot of turbulence itself in recent years, with mixed critical responses to the sequel trilogy and underwhelming fan reactions to recent shows like The Book of Boba Fett and The Acolyte.

Even Disney’s Star Wars hotel, the Galactic Starcruiser, was met with poor reception and a quick closure, further highlighting the franchise’s need for a fresh start. And who better to help it hit the reset button than someone like Zegler? Say what you will about Snow White‘s controversies and box office performance, but she certainly shines brightly in the role.

Snow White is now streaming on Disney+.

  1. I do not want to see this actress linked to anything in the Star Wars realm. I am a die hard fan of the original Star Wars as well as all the trilogies through Daisy Ridley as Rey becoming a Skywalker. Please do not add Rachel Zegler to anything involving Star Wars. I was disgusted with her statement to the beloved Disney Snow White original fairy tale.
