Hear me out now. Maybe... Just maybe.... When the appearance of the main character is in the name of the story and referenced in the source material just maybe you shouldn't change that.

Somewhere in an alternate timeline there was a snow black movies kids grew up watching and Disney cast Emma Stone as the main actress. Same box office results.

Now I recognize that the live action had way more problems than just who they cast to play the main character, but I feel like even from the first step they were already doomed.

Once you add in that the main actress was publicly bashing the source material and they cast Gal CantAct as the queen.... Then you throw in the CGI dwarves controversy nonsense.

Its not really a surprise it's set to lose Disney 500m+.
