The moment was incredibly genuine, as Felix had the opportunity to meet Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman multiple times. This ranged from conducting an interview with the two actors to appearing alongside them in Stray Kids’ music video for “Chk Chk Boom.”

Despite some fans expressing joy at seeing the idol enjoying his time at the theater, the comments section was soon flooded by netizens with conflicting opinions on Felix’s post. Many called out the idol for promoting the film amidst the ongoing boycott of Disney and Marvel.

To provide more background, Disney has faced boycott efforts from internet users ever since the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) movement added the corporation to its list.

The ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip has also sparked the movement, and many individuals are aiming to create an impact by boycotting brands or companies that have ties to or benefit from Palestine’s occupation.

Below are their comments:

  • “Boycott Marvel And Disney!”
  • “Hey, Felix! Marvel (Disney) is on the BDS boycott list, we know you can educate yourself and be aware of what’s happening in the world now. Your support might be very impactful.”
  • “Hi Felix, I don’t know if you know but BDS is officially endorsing a boycott on Disney and Marvel for Palestine! It would be great if you could unshare this post in solidarity.”
  • “Please, don’t ignore your fans in Palestine, reflect on who you’re surrounding yourself with. We know you can speak up for what’s right, so why are you not speaking on Palestine, Sudan, and Congo?”

On the Twitter platform, fans have also responded to the post. The content sparked a significant divide among netizens, with one person criticizing Felix and another defending his post and intentions.
