James Gunn’s Superman movie has been censored in India, which includes a kissing scene between David Corenswet’s Man of Steel and Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane, and a Nathan Fillion Green Lantern scene.
What are the scenes?
If you can believe it, India flagged Gunn’s flick for the kissing scene being “overly sensual.” It’s the scene where they fly up in the air and kiss. However, their first kissing scene apparently still made it into the cut of the movie in India.
The other scene is the Green Lantern middle finger scene, which sees Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner create green middle finger constructs with his Lantern ring.
According to India’s Bollywood Hungama, India deemed the scene as featuring a “foul gesture” and the scene was cut down from 8 seconds to 2 seconds.
The changes were made so Superman could retain the U/A 13+ certificate in the country.
India has a history of censorship
If you didn’t know, this isn’t the first time that India has censored or caused moves to be censored.
Recently, Apple changed a scene in the F1 movie to remove a middle finger emoji, instead replacing it with a fist bump emoji, in order to pass the Indian censorship regulations.
Marvel’s Thunderbolts was also forced to remove swear words.
Warner Bros is also said to have self-censored Mickey 17.
