Benedict Cumberbatch has criticised “repressive regimes” who ban films that include LGTBQ+ characters.It comes after Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness was banned in Saudi Arabia, allegedly over a 12-second scene where new character America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) references her “two mums”.It follows Eternals being banned in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar due to a same-sex kiss scene.‘It’s difficult not to become emotional about it, to be honest. But it is, I’m afraid, an expected disappointment,” Cumberbatch told the PA News Agency (via Metro).‘We’ve come to know from those repressive regimes that their lack of tolerance is exclusionary to people who deserve to be not only included but celebrated for who they are, and made to feel a part of a society and a culture and not punished for their sexuality.’He went on to say the ban ‘feels truly out of step with everything that we’ve experienced as a species, let alone where we’re at globally as a culture,” and that including Chavez (who’s gay in the comics) “isn’t tokenism”.“We’ve included her because of how awesome she is as a character.

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness has been banned in Saudi Arabia over the inclusion of a queer character in the film.The new Marvel sequel focused on Benedict Cumberbatch‘s titular character is due to roll out globally at the beginning of next month.However, following rumours of a ban, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the film now won’t be released in Saudi Arabia, with Kuwait reportedly also set to ban it. Advanced tickets are no longer available in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar, though are still in the United Arab Emirates.The censorship appears to be over the inclusion of the character America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), who is gay in the comic source material.There is often strong censorship on films with LGBTQ+ content in the Gulf as homosexuality is still illegal across the region.Recent Marvel film Eternals was previously banned in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar over a same-sex kiss scene between married couple Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry) and Ben (Haaz Sleiman), with Disney reportedly refusing to edit out the moment upon request from local censors.Star Angelina Jolie subsequently addressed the news, telling news.com.au: “I’m sad for [those audiences].

Marvel superhero Doctor Strange, was quick to shut down any notion that he was a showbiz “luvvie” on BBC Radio 2 today.The actor heard an audio clip of co-star Tom Holland doing an impression of him, in which he repeatedly used the word “darling”.Benedict, 45, appeared on the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show this morning to promote his new film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Sherlock actor has appeared in multiple Marvel films alongside Spider-man actor Tom, 25, who previously appeared on the BBC Radio 2 programme earlier this year. Zoe, 51, played Benedict a clip of Tom from when he was on her show back in February.In the clip, Zoe showed Tom an audio recording of the Doctor Strange star’s hilarious impression of him, which saw the actor raising his voice several notches higher.  Earning a laugh from Tom, Zoe then asked the star if he could do an impression of Benedict. After a brief pause, Tom said: “Err… Ok,” before adopting a significantly posher accent. “Benedict Cumberbatch,” he said, getting into character. “Tom, Darling, would you like to run the lines before we start shooting, darling?”Back in the studio today, Zoe could be heard laughing and called the impression “fabulous”. When asked what he thought of Tom’s impression, Benedict laughed and replied: “I reckon there’s a definite winner, and it’s not Tom.”The Imitation Game actor then went on to insist that Tom’s impression was not very accurate.“I don’t go all luvvie!” he said.

“gay as hell” in the film.In the new footage, which teases Chris Hemsworth’s title character going into retirement, Thor is seen giving Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) a lingering look, which many eagle-eyed tweeters took to be a tease of the God of Thunder’s sexuality.  The clip also shows Thor surrounded by the Guardians of the Galaxy: Star-Lord, Nebula (Karen Gillan), Drax The Destroyer (Dave Bautista), Mantis (Pom Klementieff), Groot (Vin Diesel) and Rocket (Bradley Cooper).“Remember what I told you, if you ever feel lost,” 42-year-old Pratt’s character says to 38-year-old Hemsworth’s character.

the last dance for the god of thunder?It seems like it in the first trailer for “Thor: Love and Thunder,” which teases the titular Avenger (Chris Hemsworth) going into retirement following his universe saving — and carbo-loading — events of “Endgame.”And it seems a familiar face is returning to take over for the hero.“These hands were once used for battle, now they’re but humble tools for peace,” Thor says after he’s shown through the years growing from a boy to man. “I need to figure out exactly who I am.”Instead of more epic battles for the Asgardian, it appears the fourth “Thor” installment will focus on the broken god finding himself once again — all while traveling space with the Guardians of the Galaxy as “Sweet Child of Mine” by Guns N’ Roses plays.“I’m going to choose my own path.
