Suicide Squad is unlikely to get a release in China because of its dark tone and relentless violence.
Suicide Squad is expected to be a box office smash despite an almost unanimous panning from film critics.
Suicide Squad is not the only movie to be considered inappropriate for release by China’s censorship board. Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters reboot was banned from the country because films that “promote cult or superstition” are not allowed.
David Ayer’s supervillain movie lands in cinemas worldwide today after months of marketing and hype, but is yet to receive a release date in China.
