McKay recently stated on X (formerly Twitter) that he 'wouldn't be surprised' if the LGBTQ-centric 'Wicked' musical is banned in the U.S. within the next 3-5 years, as the country continues down its current divisive path.
The movie musical was briefly banned in Kuwait due to its diverse cast, underscoring McKay's concerns about potential censorship of LGBTQ-inclusive content in the U.S. as well.
