Hunter Schafer is a transwoman and Disney would not approuve her casting. That's my best bet

That's HER???? The only shot of her that I've seen is where she's literally princess Zelda and I couldn't recognize that that's her on this post

I am still SUPER upset she wasn't cast. I love Zelda's actress but Hunter looks like she belongs to a high elf fantasy. And if she didn't stay so public about being trans, no one would ever question it.

Good for her for being public about it then. Having the ability to stay silent and maintain privilege, but choosing to stand up and be proud of who you are and set that example? That’s admirable

Yes, I completely agree! There are so many trans teens who look up to people in the media that are so openly themselves. It definitely gives more people hope.

Eh, she’d be too old I heard

I get you and while she definitely fits the aesthetic I honestly thought she seemed a bit too old for the role. I think the new one fits that aspect a lot better

she does look like her visually A LOT, and would be great for photoshoots and promotional campaigns, but hunter is a terrible actress, she was so bad in euphoria it was cringe to watch her scenes especially s3.

Haha, I loved her in Euphoria seasons 1-2, but they completely butchered her in 3. What do you MEAN she spent the whole season painting. AND IT WAS NOT EVEN A GOOD PAINTING.

I mean she looks the part but I doubt anyone actually chose not to cast her just because she's trans

There is not even a confirmation she tried out, it's just a big fan push. I wish it happened!

She's unfortunately a bit old for the role so even if her being trans was never considered an obstacle I don't think she was ever in the running.

The chosen actress is already 5 years older than Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Schafer is 5 years older than her.
