Avi Arad

Campaigns in Lebanon and Jordan are calling to ban the new Marvel film due to the involvement of producer Avi Arad. The reason: his service in the IDF and his support for Israel. Despite the protests, demand at the box office remains at its peak.

As part of the campaign to boycott Israel in Lebanon, the Al-Akhbar newspaper published an article calling for a boycott of the film "Spider-Man: A New Day" — this follows the involvement of Israeli producer Avi Arad, one of the founders of Marvel. Among other things, it was written that Arad "rejected any criticism of Netanyahu and defended his conduct during the war."
