The latest Marvel film, and the first Asian-led superhero film from the studio, has not been given a release in China and reportedly is not expected to anytime soon, either.
A 2017 interview Liu gave with CBC recently resurfaced and his comments about Xi’s China have apparently struck a chord, per Deadline.
One element that could be a factor in the decision relates to its star, Simu Liu, who was born in China before immigrating with his family to Canada at the age of five.
