'Wonder Woman' Officially Banned in Lebanon

Warner Bros.’ Wonder Woman has been officially banned in Lebanon shortly before the film was scheduled to screen in the country’s cinemas, Deadline has learned.

The ban was prompted by Lebanese group Campaign to Boycott Supporters of Israel-Lebanon because Gal Gadot, the film’s lead actress who plays Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman, is an Israeli and a former soldier in that country’s army.

Lebanon exhibitor Grand Cinemas announced the ban was official on its Twitter feed, and other sources confirmed the news to Deadline.

Gal Gadot first appeared as Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
