Guardian Bashes 'Wonder Woman' for Not 'Upending the Patriarchy'

It appears, however, that this boycott has not yet been put into place, as there are billboards for the film in Beirut, as well as premiers set up for the film. They have officially sent in a request to ban the film, but in order for it to be approved it needs a recommendation from a six-member committee from the Ministry of Economy.

Lebanon also has a decades-old law that boycotts Israeli products and forbids Lebanese citizens from having contact with Israelis.

Reviews for Wonder Woman are out and they're broadly positive.

Gulf crisis grows as Saudi, allies place Qataris on `terror list`
In an appearance Friday with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, Trump called Qatar a "funder of terrorism at a very high level". Turkey's parliament, on the other hand, has approved sending troops to an existing Turkish base in Qatar as a sign of support.

After spending the last 75 years as one of the most iconic comic book heroes of all time, Wonder Woman is finally coming to the big screen in her own feature film.

Wonder Woman will hit cinemas on June 1st in the United Kingdom and June 2nd in North America, with Patty Jenkins (Monster) directing a cast that includes Gal Gadot (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), Chris Pine (Star Trek), Connie Nielsen (Gladiator), Robin Wright (House of Cards), Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), David Thewlis (The Theory of Everything), Ewen Bremner (Snowpiercer), Said Taghmaoui (American Hustle), Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In), Lisa Loven Kongsli (Force Majeure), Lucy Davis (Shaun of the Dead) and Ann Wolf. Here's what Samah Idriss, a member of the boycott campaign, had to say to the Associated Press. In 2013, Arab nations acted on calls by the Arab League to ban the terrorism drama, "The Attack", that was shot in Israel, even though it was made by Lebanese-born filmmaker Ziad Doueiri. There have been times where the two were forced to take different sides and fight against each other and while many admire Wonder Woman, casual fans often believe that Superman would win the fight pretty much easily. It is scheduled for release June 22 in Oman and June 29 in Bahrain.
