Marvel Studios 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' Banned in Saudi Arabia

Mumbai, April 23 - Marvel Studios' upcoming highly-anticipated "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" has been banned in Saudi Arabia, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It has also been banned in Egypt and Kuwait, which hasn't been confirmed yet. ## According to reports, the decision of banning "Doctor Strange 2" in the Middle East" nation is associated with its LGBTQ issues, as it is introducing the character America Chavez (played by Xochitl Gomez) who, as per her portrayal in the comics, is gay. The movie, however, has not been released yet and no one has reviewed it yet. ## The follow-up to the hit 2016 superhero film starring Benedict Cumberbatch was due to be released across the Gulf on May 5 as part of its global rollout.

The movie, however, was released in the UAE with an edited version. ## Directed by Sam Raimi, "Doctor Strange" is set after the events of "Spider-Man: No Way Home". In the film, Strange and his allies travel into the multiverse to face a mysterious new adversary. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange, alongside Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Rachel McAdams.## In India, the movie will be released on May 6, in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

'Aquaman' Star Amber Heard's Ex-Assistant Alleges Actress's Claims Of Physical Abuse Are False

Los Angeles, April 16 - The ongoing legal battle between "Pirates of the Caribbean" star Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard has taken an interesting turn as Heard's former assistant Kate James has alleged that Heard's claims of physical abuse at the hands of Depp are false. ## Amber Heard is being sued by Johnny Depp, for $50 million, on allegations that she defamed him by describing herself as a "figure representing domestic violence" in a 2018 op-ed in the 'Washington Post'. ## Heard responded to the lawsuit by countersuing Depp and alleging that he physically assaulted her on 10 occasions throughout their relationship. The couple parted ways in 2016, after Heard filed for a protective order in court, with what appeared to be a bruise on her face.## In a prerecorded video presented by Depp's attorneys to the jurors, Kate James, who worked for Heard from 2012 to 2015, argued that she never witnessed Depp and Heard getting into verbal or physical altercations, nor did she notice any evidence of domestic violence during her regular visits to the couple's respective homes.## However, she said Heard did contact her in distress after arriving back at their home in Los Angeles after a private flight with Depp in May 2014. For the said incident, Heard alleged in court filings that Depp kicked her and threw objects at her on the flight because he was upset about a romantic scene she had filmed the day prior with James Franco.## Kate also recalled that he received humiliation from the "Aquaman" actress when she asked for an increased salary. She also said that Heard screamed at her when she pushed back against the $50,000 salary Heard offered.## Stay tuned...
