scene in the upcoming movie; X-Men Apocalypse, promotes violence against
women. The criticism was so bad, 20th Century Fox had to apologize.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, the film studio apologized
for the billboard saying, “In our enthusiasm to show the villainy of the
character Apocalypse we didn’t immediately recognize the upsetting
connotation of this image in print form. Once we realized how
insensitive it was, we quickly took steps to remove those materials. We
apologize for our actions and would never condone violence against
women.”
