Chinese MCU fans are upset over ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ not getting a China release may have turned in Pierce Brosnan. Rumors are swirling that Black Adam is not getting a China release due to Marvel fans, which if that is the case, would certainly kill its effort in the box office.
Previously, Black Adam was set what would have been a release in China on Nov. 11 (the same date Black Panther: Wakanda Forever opens in the rest of the world, but it will not get released in China), where Dwayne Johnson has a huge following, but nothing official has been announced.
However, on Wednesday, a big rumor hit that Black Adam is not going to be released in China. A user on the Box Office Theory forums (via Reddit) posted that as a result of Chinese Marvel fans informing the Chinese Film Board that Pierce Brosnan is a Dalia Lama supporter, China has decided not to release Black Adam.
A user said: “Pierce Brosnan wore something related to Daila Lama in an interview – that is what I heard / read, and on Weibo, there are comments that said many Marvel fans took the chance and called in to the film board to highlight this and complained to get the film banned.”
It would then swirl that fans are targeting Black Adam and don’t want the movie released.
A known Twitter user who covers Chinese-related film news also tweeted a list of of American movies that are/were predicted to get released in China. Only one of the movies, Spider-Man: No Way Home, has been released in China, which suggests the predictions are basically all wrong.
Pierce Brosnan, who plays fan-favorite Dr. Fate in Black Adam, has gone on record that he shares a special bond with “His Holiness” the Dalai Lama who is in exile in India and who is the head of state and spiritual leader of the Tibetan government.
The problem is the Chinese don’t recognize Tibet as an independent nation and claim Tibet is under the sovereignty of China.
Brosnan has also admitted he carries Tibetan holy beads given to him by a monk on an airplane that suffered massive turbulence where he thought he was going to die so now he carries them every time he travels.
