Marvel Studios’ Eternals will not be arriving in cinemas in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, or Qatar, as the countries have pulled the film from their screens, according to a recent report from The Hollywood Reporter.
Based on Jack Kirby’s Marvel comics of the same name, Eternals welcomes an exciting new team of superheroes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The report states that the film was met with a variety of edit requests by the local censors of these countries, and when Disney was reportedly unwilling to make them, the film was pulled as a result.
Due to how LGBTQ+ issues and representation are often censored in certain parts of the world, it’s believed that Eternals was dealing with the same issues.
