Doctor Strange 2 Will Be Banned from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and China
According to an article on the website of TheNerdTrash, the Doctor Strange 2 film will be banned in three Middle Eastern countries. And these countries are Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and the reason is the introduction of America Chavez, but how so?
America Chavez will be one of the first of the MCU's first LGBTQIA+ heroines, and these countries censor any kind of content on that subject. And whoever believes that this will be the first Marvel movie to suffer censorship for this same reason is wrong.
The Eternals movie, for example, ended up going through several cuts before being shown in Middle Eastern countries and China.
Returning to the subject of Doctor Strange 2 not being shown in Middle Eastern countries, who reported this was the official page of IMAX Egypt on Twitter. That is, possibly it will be a subject that is already given as it ends and this film really shouldn't go there.
Doctor Strange Banned from China, Understand Why
As you've noticed, I had said that the Doctor Strange 2 movie will be banned, but I didn't reveal the reason for this happening in China. Well, I hadn't revealed it because the reason is different, and it has to do with a detail seen in one of his first scenes.
And this scene shows a glimpse of a newspaper with the Chinese characters of “The Epoch Times”, but what would be the reason for the ban in China? The Epoch Times is an international media conglomerate that opposes the Chinese Communist Party.
As we know, China lives under a dictatorial regime and anything that opposes the Chinese government suffers severe punishment.
It is worth mentioning that after the Covid-19 Pandemic all Marvel movies were banned from being shown in China. Black Widow, Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Venom 2 and Spider-Man: No Homecoming did not premiere in those countries.
With that, Marvel certainly failed to make good money, since China is the most populous country in the world.
Will This Banishing Hurt the Film's Success?
Well, to be honest, financially, maybe this banning of Doctor Strange 2 movie in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait would be insignificant. However, with absolute certainty this ban in China will be very harmful to the film's revenue, and it's for an obvious reason.
And that obvious reason is the population of China, there are around 1.402 billion and this is the most populous country in the world. Remembering that China is one of the countries with the most movie theaters in the world.
With absolute certainty, a film not being shown in the country of China is a tremendous loss of revenue for the studio that produced this film.
