Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has given a much-needed box-office boost in several countries.
However, the movie won’t released in the UAE. The film has banned in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) a week ahead of its intended release on June 22.
Last year, Disney and Pixar’s Lightyear did not get release in the country due to the same-sex kiss scene. The spin-off also banned from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Malaysia.
As reported by Variety, sources said, “A scene featuring a poster in the background of the frame.
It depicts the transgender flag and reads ‘Protect Trans Lives’ is said to one of the concerns that prevented a release from approved.”
