People are lying constantly.
The film, which has also been praised for its diverse cast, features a sweet moment between two male characters, becoming one of the first ever moments of LGBT representation in the MCU.
‘The thinking behind having this LGBT moment was just about making it honest,’ Kaz told Metro.co.uk.
‘This isn’t performative, it isn’t some silly thing that we’re playing for laughs, it’s just truth. I think love is love and you’re gonna see that in this film, that there is love in many forms.
‘We really wanted to make this a love story and that’s a big part of what informed having these different families that come together and come apart and so we wanted to make sure it felt true.’
Following Kaz’s comments, it’s been reported that Eternals has been pulled from release in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney was not willing to make edits requested by local censors.
Sources suggested to the site that the decision was ‘likely made over the inclusion of a same-sex couple in the film and the MCU’s first gay superhero.’
Homosexuality is still illegal in all three countries.
