10 Times Movie Fans Pissed Off Actors

10. Benedict Wong Is Quick To Defend His Young Doctor Strange Co-Star Against Trolls

There are some corners of the ol' Inter-web that seriously need to take a long hard look in the mirror.

This depressing reality was recently seen in the frankly disgusting amount of online abuse sent American Chavez actor Xochitl Gomez's way in the wake of making her MCU debut in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as the lesbian superhero with two moms. And it's something the newcomer's co-star Benedict Wong was very quick to take aim at during an interview the pair had with AsiaOne.

On top of reminding folks just how much pressure was on the young performer's shoulders, with Gomez acting as one of the youngest MCU stars to date, Wong would confess:

"...there's a real level of shame for all those trolls that are cowards not to actually put their face on, and they should feel a deep shame of what they're doing. Let's all just play nice. Let's all just enjoy... what we are representing."

The fact Gomez is being forced to deal with this sort of horrendous behaviour so early in her career is shameful in the first place. But at least the youngster has a no-nonsense Wong in her corner when faced with the uglier side of humanity.
