On August 5th, Stray Kids’s Felix uploaded on Instagram a photo of him at a movie theater. In particular, the male idol captured the promotional topper cup of the Marvel & Disney movie “Deadpool and Wolverine”.
In his caption, Felix tagged the accounts of Ryan Reynolds and Huge Jackman, the main cast of “Deadpool and Wolverine”, and shared, “Hope to see 90 year old Wolverine and Deadpool”.
Seeing Felix’s post, many fans praised the cute topper cup and shared the joy of watching the movie. However, others pointed out that Felix was promoting the brand in the boycott list related to the Israel-Palestine conflict. It is known that Marvel, which is owned by Disney, is among the brands that should be boycotted.
In the BDS list, Disney is one of the targets for the boycott as they promised to support Israel, which initiated the genocide of the Palestine people. In addition, the upcoming Disney & Marvel movie “Captain America” is also under fire for featuring an Israel secret agent character.
Some people think Felix was only sharing his movie moments with fans and should not be criticized because it’s a collaboration between Stray Kids and “Wolverine and Deadpool” as the movie cast recently participated in Stray Kids’s comeback promotion.
However, a lot of fans still expressed disappointment in his post about a Disney & Marvel product, considering it a promotion of a boycotted brand. They are also calling out JYP and Stray Kids to speak up and explain their actions.
