Why Marvel's 'Shang-Chi' may not be released in China and what it means for Hollywood's future
But the movie, which is the first Marvel Cinematic Universe entry headlined by an Asian character, still doesn't have a release date in the world's largest theatrical market: China, where foreign releases must be approved by the local government.reported on Friday that a date may be out of reach after 2017 comments made by star Simu Liu resurfaced this week on Chinese social media, in which Liu called China a"third world" country.
"Definitively, Fu Manchu is not in this movie, is not Shang-Chi's father, and again, is not even a Marvel character, and hasn't been for decades," Feige toldBut beyond any concerns about the movie itself,"Shang-Chi's" China release, or lack thereof, reflects the country's media crackdown and the changing nature of its relationship with Hollywood, which has relied on the China box office to boost big-budget tentpoles.
It could be a major loss for Disney, as Marvel films have performed well in China."Avengers: Endgame" is the country's highest grossing foreign film with $614 million. Only two Hollywood releases are currently in the top 10 highest grossing movies at the China box office this year:"F9" and"Godzilla vs. Kong.""There are Chinese blockbusters that Chinese filmmakers are making that people want to watch, and they feel less derivative than those made in Hollywood," Kokas said.
