Trans flag: 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse' banned in Gulf countries
Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse has emerged to become one of the biggest money spinners of 2023. The film received rave reviews from critics and viewers. Now, the movie seems to be in a bit of a soup after it got banned in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Middle East region for showing the transgender flag in a scene.
The film failed to pass the censorship
This happened after the film failed to pass the censorship requirement in Saudi Arabia. As per a report on Unilad, it was stated that the film "contradicts the content controls in force," hence it won't be released. Gwen Stacy's character (Hailee Steinfeld) is transgender as per a popular fan theory. Keeping aside the Gulf region ban, the film has been a huge success globally.
