We gotta stop using China as an excuse when Eternals and Shang-Chi did better and that was when theaters had covid restrictions in 2021

True. Nothing like millions (and millions) of people chanting your name for an ego boost.

TBF both those movies only did like 10-40 million more at the box office and were released in the later part of 2021. I don't think anyone was really cracking down on Covid like that at the time, but idk. I'm not gonna use China as an excus, but given how big Dwayne Johnson is in that country I can confidently say if the movie had released there it woulda performed better. Maybe not like 300 million better or something like that, but enough to where there aren't talks about the movie being a financial failure.

Like The Rock had a movie where he jumped from one burning building to another on a prosthetic leg make 300+Ms at the box office just off the international market alone. If you think not being released in the second biggest theatrical market where dude is like the biggest star ever didn't hurt this film the same way it has some others then idk what to tell you.

I roll dolo from state to state
The only guy I sort of feel bad for is Aldis Hodge/Hawkman
He is a good actor who's been in the game since Die Hard with a Vengeance.
I know he's got that Alex Cross show on deck but I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel calls him up to play T'Challa

Disney hasn't been showing in China for majority of phase 4.So China didnt release Black Adam or Black Panther 2 huh?
Seems like there is a common denominator here

Why feel bad, all signs point to him staying on as Hawkman in the reboot universe
This is based on what?
