Matt Damon’s next movie, The Great Wall, premiered its first trailer last week, but this first look has since been overshadowed by controversy.
The Great Wall hits theaters in China sometime this December, and the U.S. release will follow on February 17, 2017.
While The Great Wall marks the biggest collaboration yet between U.S. and Chinese movie studios, it’s clear that many people are not impressed with how the main casting was handled.
However, when it comes to The Great Wall, director Zhang Yimou is defending this creative choice.
