In the video that is circulating online, Rachel Zegler is heard saying,

"The original cartoon came out in 1937 and it is very evident. There is a great emphasis on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird, weird. So we didn’t do that this time. An actor was hired for the film, Andrew Burnap, he’s a great guy. All of Andrew’s scenes could be deleted, who knows. He’s Hollywood, baby."
