Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse quietly removed from Middle Eastern cinemas.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has been removed from release schedules in several Middle Eastern countries, including the UAE, with no reason given. Speculation suggests it may be related to a poster in the film reading "Protect Trans Kids." Last year, Pixar's Lightyear was banned in several Middle Eastern territories for including a same-sex kiss, and Disney chose to skip numerous markets with Strange World, which features a gay main character.
