All in all, the cuts amount to just over one minute of footage, per THR. THR also reports that a few other small but key edits were made, including a scene in which a woman gives birth to a child and a character says the line, “A god to his people” in reference to Namor, the powerful Talokan leader played by Tenoch Huerta. The scene lasts just a few seconds (par for the course with Marvel and its tepid LGBTQ+ representation record), but was apparently still too much for the Kuwaiti censors. Ayo replies, “Thank you, my love,” making it clear the pair are romantically linked. In the scene, Aneka kisses Ayo on the forehead. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the brief scene has been cut from the film for its theatrical run in the Gulf country, removing the only explicitly LGBTQ+ scene in the Black Panther sequel. But viewers who watch the film in Kuwait will never see that moment. In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, there’s a brief moment where it’s made clear that Michaela Coel and Florence Kasumba’s characters-Aneka and Ayo, Dora Milaje warriors-are in a relationship.
