Okay some of them are not verified but rating in Hong Kong, China, Korea, India does not say so China & Korea hates POC movies. Shang-Chi, BP2 & now TLM. There is a trend here which proves that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have many black people in Asia. People tend to relate/connect with what look like them. Sure we don’t have white people too but in real world white race is generally look upto here. The beauty standards are such that people prefer fairer skin. so black films will always find it tough here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racist Erm… okay sir, how many Korean/Chinese movies have you seen in your local theaters? I'm from India and very few Chinese & Korean movies runs in theatres here. I don't know if there is audience of China & Korea movies in India. @charlie Jatinder knows better about this. But if they make blockbuster movies on the level of Avengers/Star Wars, and if they releases in theatres here I'll definitely give them try. It seems like Chinese and Korean people don't like to watch Black lead movies and American Chinese-Korean actor movies as there is a trend about this which I can't ignore.

As @charlie Jatinder said people in India, China & Korea like to watch movies of fair face actors and that's the reason of low interest in Black lead movies in these countries.

I would doubt that, it would have to do 500m+ domestically for that, audiences in the international market are not very interested in animated superhero movies., Spiderverse 2 will be much stronger in the domestic market than OS, just like the first (and that would happen even if it was Peter and not Miles), I don't think the actors not being white has a big thing, we can see it with the Fast and Furious franchise, that it is much more successful internationally than domestically, and most of the franchise protagonists are non-white.
