Ian McKellen calls out US President Donald Trump
Over the years, time and time again, the US president has been called out by the ‘Lord of the Rings’ actor. In 2017, during the man’s first presidential run, the Trump administration rolled back the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order, and had not acknowledged Pride Month at the time. Many had called him out for the move, mentioning that queer employees would face major discrimination with no law to defend their rights.In a Variety interview the same year, Ian McKellen stated that “It’s appalling and quite unnecessary and very un-American. The gay rights movement began in America. It began in San Francisco, it began in Stonewall, the city where Donald Trump was born and thrived.” He further quipped about the US president and stated “He’s a very bad communicator, at least to me. Get more straightforward, Donald. And then we can take you seriously.”As for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, the film is slated for release around Christmas time later this year. The bar for excitement has already been raised as fans and netizens alike have been preparing for the day. Before that, Tom Holland will be bringing his Spider-Sense to life in his next Marvel film, ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day.’
