Saudi Arabia Didn’t reveal Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness For Any of this Purpose
Saudi Arabia has reportedly decided not to release Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Marvel’s upcoming Doctor Strange sequel. The reason for this decision is said to be the presence of actor Benedict Cumberbatch in the film’s cast.
Cumberbatch, who plays Doctor Strange in the franchise, had previously voiced support for jailed Saudi blogger Raif Badawi. Badawi was arrested in 2012 and sentenced to ten years in prison and 1000 lashes for “insulting Islam” on his blog. He has been subjected to 50 of those lashes, with the rest postponed due to bad health. In an interview with The Guardian, Cumberbatch said he was “appalled” by Badawi’s treatment and called on the UK government to do more to help him.
“We have a moral responsibility to ask ourselves what we can do to put pressure on the Saudi Arabian government to allow free speech, and internet access and stop flogging bloggers,” he said. Saudi Arabia has retaliated by prohibiting Doctor Strange from entering the Multiverse of Madness. An official source told The Hollywood Reporter that the film was “not in line with [the] values” of the kingdom.
