Honestly can. not. wait.
But the movie won't be playing in Malaysia...

Film Censorship Board
It is in our guidelines that we don’t allow L.G.B.T. activity in movies in Malaysia, they are the ones not allowing the movie to be shown. We approved it with a minor cut.”

The film has not been and will not be cut for Malaysia
