2021's The Misfits sees beloved James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan in a starring role again. However, the movie's controversy was bigger than his role.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 2021's The Misfits was Finnish director Renny Harlin's twenty-second feature-length film, boasting a diverse cast of actors led by Pierce Brosnan, but the movie spawned a lot of controversy upon release. The action heist film centered around a group of modern-day Robin Hood-esque thieves known as the Misfits and their plans to steal gold from underneath a maximum security prison on behalf of a renowned terrorist group.

In addition to The Misfits' events linking Qatar to terrorism, Qatar-based Egyptian Muslim Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi was blatantly referred to as the "sponsor of global terrorism" throughout the movie's events. Because The Misfits portrayed one of the nation's most revered and influential figures as a terrorist leader, The Misfits was effectively banned from being screened in Qatari cinemas.
