Marvel’s Doctor Strange 2 banned in Saudi Arabia for openly queer superhero
Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has been banned in Saudi Arabia for LGBTQ+ content. Over the last few months, Marvel enthusiasts have eagerly been waiting for the arrival of the superhero film.
While movie-goers are looking forward to the continued exploration of the franchise’s expansive multiverse, queer fans are particularly excited for the inclusion of Marvel’s latest LGBTQ+ superhero America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez).
In the comics, America notably made history as Marvel’s first Latin-American LGBTQ+ character. However, the film and its diverse set of characters will not be available to every Marvel fan.
According to a report from Deadline, the release of Doctor Strange 2 has been pulled in Saudi Arabia due to its inclusion of an LGBTQ+ superhero.
