Is there anything wrong with this promotional photo?





Apparently, critics felt this billboard from a

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."
