Kuwait Bans 'Wicked' Movie Over LGBTQ+ Content

  • 04/12/2024

Wicked has allegedly been prohibited from screening in theaters across Kuwait, with speculation suggesting that the ban may be linked to the film's numerous LGBTQ cast members. A report from Variety indicates that the film was taken off cinema listings just one day prior to its scheduled release. The situation is described as "evolving," with no clear explanation provided at this time. It is noteworthy that Kuwait had previously restricted the showing of Barbie on the grounds of "public ethics," leading many to believe that Wicked may face a similar fate.
