Martin Klebba, voice of Grumpy in the new live-action Snow White movie, has spoken out about the recent changes to the film’s premiere due to controversy surrounding the title character, Rachel Zegler. According to Klebba, the alterations were made because of concerns from people in society, rather than any issues with the film itself.
Klebba expressed his pride for the movie and believes audiences will love it. However, he noted that this year’s premiere will be different from previous events due to the controversy surrounding Zegler. The event will now take place at the El Capitan Theatre, where viewers can watch the movie in a “pre-party” setting without the usual red carpet festivities.
Klebba clarified that he was not informed about the specific reason for the changes but hinted that it may be related to Zegler’s past comments on social media. The actor believes the film will showcase the dwarfs accurately, as they are an integral part of the story and cannot be omitted.
The actor also mentioned his own aspirations to play a character with dwarfism in the Marvel Universe, highlighting the importance of representation and diversity in the entertainment industry. Despite the controversy surrounding Snow White, Klebba remains optimistic about the film’s potential success.
