The Marvel Cinematic Universe over the years has made fans all across the globe. It is no news that Asia holds a huge stake in making the studio what it is today. Half of the credit goes to China which over years has become a gold mine for the studios to release their films and earn big. The country has a special place in their hearts and that is evident. But now it seems dystopia is about to hit the future of MCU in China and here’s how.
Over the years the Marvel flicks have found momentum. And when the cinematic universe expanded after Iron Man (2008), it only saw a boom in business. China contributed over $100 Million for each film.
As per a report in We Got This Covered new national security law has been passed by the authorities in China. It gives the Hong Kong Chief Secretary the power to revoke or ban any film of their choice. They also have the power to implement a $128,000 fine on anyone who is detect screening an unlicensed movie.
This has created a huge stir amid the movie-going audience in the country, and there are protests. The protest has even taken Avengers: Endgame references and memes which feature Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping as Thanos.
If Marvel movies including the country’s favorite Avengers in any way turn out to be anti-establishment and inspire pro-democracy supporters, they will be simply outlaw.
