Latest Black Panther and Ant-Man superhero flicks get February release dates in country famously controlling over Hollywood movies
The CFA has never explained why Marvel films have been blocked since mid-2019. Film industry analysts have raised several potential reasons over the years, including the presence of LGBTQ+ characters and symbols of US patriotism, like the Statue of Liberty; the hiring of the Eternals director Chloé Zhao, who was criticised for statements she made about her home country in interviews; and growing political tension between the US and China.
However, since 2019, the films Black Widow, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder have all been denied release in China. There have recently been signs China is warming to Hollywood, with James Cameron’s Avatar sequel Avatar: The Way of Water being approved for release and for screening during China’s lunar new year holiday, which is typically reserved for domestic films only. Avatar: The Way of Water has earned $220m in China so far.
