[Asia News = Reporter Reakkana] KUALA LUMPUR: Marvel Studios’ latest offering of Thor: Love and Thunder will not be screened in Malaysia after weeks of uncertainty over whether it would be released in the country. Malaysia’s largest cinema chain, Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) wrote on social media on Thursday (Jul 28) to confirm that the movie will not be screened in the country, CNA reported.
In a short announcement, GSC said: "Thor: Love and Takde (Malay for ‘no more). Officially". “Please be informed that Disney has updated that Marvel Studios’ Thor: Love and Thunder will not be released in Malaysia after all,” according to the social media post. “We appreciate your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.” TGV cinemas also put up a social media post indicating that the movie will not be screened. The confirmation came after it was reported around two weeks ago that the movie’s screening in Malaysia would be postponed.
The movie was released in most parts of the world on Jul 6. The release in Malaysia was originally scheduled for Jul 7. No reason was given for the postponement. The movie features a scene where Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, has his buttocks exposed. It also alludes to same-sex relationships between some characters.
