In ‘Eternals’ we meet the superhero Phastos (Brian Tyree). He is openly gay and shares a kiss with his husband in the film. Something that is still illegal in several Gulf States. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar have therefore quietly removed the film from their sites. The print would be released in the United Arab Emirates for the time being.

Disney also refused to produce a censored version of ‘Eternals’. Something that was previously also the case with the Pixar film ‘Onward’. In it, Disney introduced a lesbian character. Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia then cut the film from their cinemas.
