Marvel: Why not release Doctor Strange 2 in Saudi Arabia?

From May 4, which is expected in cinemas around the world, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” will not pass in Saudi Arabia. The Marvel movie is really banned because of one of its new characters on the site.

With Madness Multiverse, his second solo film, Doctor Strange must travel to several parallel worlds and universes. But that will not pass Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries where Marvel’s film signed by Sam Raim is banned.

The reason for this ban is called America Chavez. As in the comics, the character played by Hochitl Gomez, who takes his first steps in the film, would be gay. With Disney declining the cut requested by a local distributor, Dr. Strange has not received an operating permit in many worlds of madness. Like The Eternals or the West Side Story in front of him.

Thus, a feature film worn by Benedict Cumberbatch will be invisible to cinemas in the Middle East, except in the United Arab Emirates, where censorship has recently become less restrictive. Its release is also scheduled for Friday, May 6, two days after France, which will be able to discover it from 4 p.m. Already in a week or so.
