The Chinese superhero Sword Master is the latest to join Marvel Comics from China, but there is many cultural subtleties that may be overlooked by American comic book readers. That we reveal here in “Marvel’s Sword Master Explained!”
With “Ne Zha” making over $700MM at the China Box-Office this could be the beginning of the Chinese superhero, not only the rise of Chinese Animation aka Sinomation.
Chinese animation is finding its voice and just like Japan has anime, China will one day have Sinomation.
Beijing is opening up investment into its steaming market by foreign capital and companies. Which could lead to foreign streaming content entering the Chinese market, but there is only one streaming video player out there than can meet all the content regulation in China: Disney+.
With $2.8 billion dollars already at the China Box-Office Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings, with two MCU coming before it, has the potential of putting Marvel Studios at $4 billion in China.
While Marvel Studios introduced Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Marvel Comics introduced the Chinese superheroes Sword-Master and Aero just weeks before. Who made their Marvel debut through NetEase Comics in China just one year ago.
