Adam McKay Says ‘Wicked’ Could Be ‘Banned in 3-5 Years’ if ‘America Keeps Going on the Track It Is’ and ‘I Wouldn’t Be Surprised’


Director Adam McKay suggested that 'Wicked' could be 'banned in 3-5 years' if 'America keeps going on the track it is.'

“ Wicked ” was briefly pulled from theaters in Kuwait, allegedly due to its LGBTQ cast, but could the blockbuster musical ever be fully banned in the United States? Filmmaker Adam McKay “wouldn’t be surprised” if the film was pulled in the next few years because of where America is headed politically. “Wicked” is expected to be a best picture nominee at the Oscars, and it recently picked up Golden Globe nods for best musical/comedy and acting nominations for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
