‘This Is An Anthem For The Underdogs’: Dev Patel Talks Including The Trans Community In Monkey Man



Mild spoilers for Dev Patel’s Monkey Man are ahead. If you haven’t seen this action entry on the 2024 movie schedule, you can catch it in theaters now. 

While Dev Patel’s career reinvention, the injuries he overcame while making Monkey Man and the incredible action in the film have been at the center of the project’s positive discourse, conversations about the transgender representation in the film have also been a point of conversation. It’s a fantastic film with LGBTQ+ representation, and recently, Patel spoke about why it was important to include these trans and gender-nonconforming characters in his directorial debut.
