Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness theatrical release banned in Saudi Arabia over inclusion of queer character

Image
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , the long-awaited sequel to 2016's Benedict Cumberbatch starrer hit Doctor Strange , has reportedly been banned for theatrical release in Saudi Arabia. As Deadline reports, the move follows in the wake of Marvel’s The Eternals not playing in Saudi Arabia, that picture forbidden there over its same-gender couple romance and the MCU’s first gay superhero. Usually, movies with LGBTQ+ content don’t make it past censors in the Gulf, and as Doctor Strange 2 features comic-accurate depiction of America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) as a lesbian teenager, the film simply didn’t receive a distribution certificate. Saudi Arabia is one of several countries in the region in which homosexuality is illegal. Many films which include references to LGBTQ+ issues or themes surrounding it are subject to censorship, or else completely denied a theatrical release. As per a report, the MCU sequel was originally supposed to premiere on May 5 as part of its globa

Luckily, Agastya is a fast learner. Says a source close to the Bachchan family, “Neither of Agastya’s parents are actors. So he is leaning on his grandparents and his Maamu (Uncle) Abhishek Bachchan for guidance. Agastya has always been a big fan of his grandfather and of the Archie comics. So he has the advantage of being a part of the cinematic universe that he will soon occupy officially, even before facing the camera.” One hears Agastya is already getting several offers from the biggest banners.
