This movie has now become the latest in a growing list of major #Disney features including ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ and ‘Eternals’, that have been faced issues in Gulf countries due to scenes involving #LGBTQ references or issues, which often fall foul of censors for theatrical releases due to #homosexuality being officially illegal across the region, as per The #Hollywood Reporter.
