One of the most awaited Hollywood films of  Dwayne Johnson’s latest superhero film Black Adam has reportedly been banned in China, the single-largest overseas film market for Hollywood film. According to a report, The film will be ban in china and the reason for the ban is cast member Pierce Brosnan’s past comments on Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama.

Dalai Lama and Tibet are the major topic in China and public figures associating with the leader have been known to be shunned in China.  The film stars Dwayne Johnson as the titular antihero. The film has been running successfully worldwide, earning $200 million since its release last month.

 Black Adam features Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate and also includes a cameo of Henry Cavill, returning to play Superman in the DCEU. The film has not released in China yet and there were hopes that it will release in the country later this year to take its global haul higher but rumours about its ban in China began on fan forums earlier this week.

Pseudonym Issac Newton claimed Black Adam will not be releasing in China. The administration has decided not to grant the film permission to release as it includes Pierce, who has spoken about meeting the Dalai Lama. Pierce Brosnan in an earlier interview had shared an anecdote about meeting with the Dalai Lama and praised the spiritual leader. This could be the reason for Black Adam’s shadow ban as several other films however, no official announcement has been made regarding that made till now.
