If this flops, Hollywood won't risk an All Asian movie
They'll go back to whitewashing their martial arts movies again.
shareThey'll go back to whitewashing their martial arts movies again.
shareAn all-Asian movie has always been a risk but I think the success of Crazy Rich Asians has emboldened the studios somewhat.
I think there are a lot of reasons why this movie might fail, the all-Asian cast only being one of them. You can add to it the fact that only Marvel die-hards are familiar with the character, as well as potential Marvel fatigue after so many movies, the fact that there's a pandemic going on, and a reported budget of $150-$185 million.
