Disney on Friday announced it is delaying the release of its live-action Snow White movie starring Rachel Zegler by a year from March 22, 2024 to March 21, 2025. The film, which is officially titled Disney’s Snow White, is among the studio’s biggest offerings of the year, and is one of the anchors of its spring slate.

The other spring anchor is Pixar’s March animated tentpole Elio, which is being pushed back by more than a year, from March 1, 2024 to June 13, 2025.

[The acute issue forcing the move is the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, which makes actors unavailable for PR. Given the damage that Zegler has already done around “Snow White,” one has to wonder whether it would be preferable to release it while she *can’t* promote the film. A one-year delay also allows for some of that poisonous woke-scolding from Zegler to recede farther in memory, though. — Ed]
