The Indian version of James Gunn’s Superman film has undergone censorship, specifically removing a romantic scene between David Corenswet’s Superman and Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane, as well as a scene featuring Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern.
What are the scenes?
Remarkably, Indian officials found Gunns’ aerial kiss scene “excessively sensual” and flagged it for censorship. Yet, surprisingly, the initial kissing scene between them was reportedly left intact in the Indian version of the film.
An alternative depiction is the moment where Nathan Fillion’s character, Guy Gardner, uses his Green Lantern ring to fashion green constructs resembling a gesture often associated with disrespect, in this scene from the series.
As reported by India’s Bollywood Hungama, the Indian authorities found the depicted gesture inappropriate, resulting in the original 8-second scene being shortened to just 2 seconds.
The changes were made so Superman could retain the U/A 13+ certificate in the country.
India has a history of censorship
It’s worth noting that India has a history of censoring content or attempting to do so, as this is not a new occurrence.
Lately, I’ve noticed that Apple made an adjustment in the F1 film, swapping out a middle finger gesture for a friendly fist bump, to ensure compliance with Indian censorship guidelines.
Marvel’s Thunderbolts was also forced to remove swear words.
Warner Bros is also said to have self-censored Mickey 17.
