Summary
Marvel Cinematic Universe movies will return to China in February for the first time in nearly four years. Disney's comic book cinematic universe is likely to benefit from the reopening of the Chinese market, but box office analysts worry that online piracy and Covid could hurt the movies' grosses. The upcoming February releases are expected to generate more ticket sales due to the introduction of a new villain, Kang, and the potential for the film to become the first global mega-hit of 2023.
