Deadpool Banned In China


Deadpool fans living in China will have a near impossible chance of seeing the anti-hero's antics on the big screen. According to local reports, the movie based on a Marvel character and produced by 20th Century Fox, has been denied permission to screen in the country due to its violence, nudity, and graphic language.

China has no rating system so it is up to the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television to oversee all film imports, giving permission and or ordering changes (censorship). A Hollywood Reporter source close to the media regulator confirmed the decision to deny Deadpool's screening in the country.

On their end, sources close to the movie say that they can't re-cut Deadpool and remove the material considered offensive by Chinese law since it would cause problems with the plot of the movie.

The decision will effectively shape Deadpool's overall box-office gross since China has been a very import market for the genre, with Avengers: Age of Ultron making $240 million last summer, and Ant-Man grossing just over $100 million.

Directed by Tim Miller, Deadpool stars Ryan Reynolds, Ed Skrein, Gina Carano, Morena Baccarin, Brianna Hildebrand, T.J. Miller, Andre Tricoteux, and Leslie Uggams.

Deadpool opens February 12.
