The Marvel adventure has been pulled from Gulf region markets after sources claim the studio refused to remove a same-sex kiss
Marvel’s latest big-budget adventure Eternals has been pulled from
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait after
Disney reportedly refused to cut a same-sex kiss.
According to the
Hollywood Reporter, the $200m movie will not be released in the Gulf region countries after being removed from local sites. The studio has yet to comment or confirm but sources claim that the reason is a kiss between Brian Tyree Henry’s character and his on-screen husband, played by Haaz Sleiman. It marks the first gay kiss in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
