Activists in Lebanon and Jordan are organizing campaigns to boycott the new Spider-Man film due to the involvement of a producer who supports the Israeli occupation. The movement, which includes calls to prevent the film’s screening in Jordanian cinemas, centers on the political affiliations of the production staff.
Boycott Campaigns in Jordan and Lebanon
The “Ataharrak” (Move) gathering in Jordan is leading efforts to block the release of the latest Spider-Man installment in local theaters. According to reports from JO24 and the Palestinian Refugees Portal, the group is actively calling for a total boycott of the film within the country.
Similar movements have emerged in Lebanon. Al Akhbar reports that these campaigns characterize the film as "Zionist" because of the producer’s reported support for the occupation.
Reasons for the Cinematic Boycott
The primary driver for the boycott is the identity and political stance of a producer associated with the film. According to the Palestinian Refugees Portal and Al Arabi Al Jadeed, the campaign targets the project specifically because a producer is a supporter of the Israeli occupation.
The “Ataharrak” group maintains that preventing the film’s exhibition in Jordan is a necessary step in opposing the occupation.
