    That's a pretty weak rumour though. I would bet money on both still coming out in China.

    Eternals absolutely no chance it gets an official release in China. Chloe Zhao is very outspoken about the CCP

    She has literally only made 1 statement which she then asked the publication to delete.

    So "very outspoken" is being very generous lol

    Endgame grossed 600 mil in China. No way in hell will they just abandon that market

    Gotta still get that money from China

    They don't really and chasing it is turning into to slippier slope all the time. Can see Disney saying f***it eventually.

    Considering what's going on over there it'd be like Hollywood rewriting all their films in the 40s to appeal to the nationalists in Germany... Instead of absolutely putting them on nonstop blast (which is what they did)

    Some of the German actors that wisely fled Germany before it got bad would gladly play Nazi villains for free (Conrad Veidt for example) just to make them look as bad as possible. If Chloe was a real one she would do something gangster like that. I'm thinking she probably would speak out more but she might still have family over there still that she doesn't want to doom.

    Yes, I never said China doesn't dislike her. I just said she's not very outspoken about it.

    The only statement against China that she has made was

    It goes back to when I was a teenager in China, being in a place where there are lies everywhere,” she continues. “You felt like you were never going to be able to get out. A lot of info I received when I was younger was not true, and I became very rebellious toward my family and my background. I went to England suddenly and relearned my history. Studying political science in a liberal arts college was a way for me to figure out what is real.

    And then she wanted that one to get deleted. So again. Chinese nationalists dislike her, but I don't expect the movie to get banned

    Good hopefully that deters Disney from catering in to China

    Catering? Disney pandering is more like disrespect. Soul did better than Mulan in China because Mulan was disrespectful to Chinese culture.

    This always had me question the implications of Wakanda being an isolationist country, specifically in regards to slavery.

    That’s pretty problematic as well

    But then again, the decision to work with the CIA at the end of the movie is pretty on brand with their isolationist policies
