Sony Pictures head Tom Rothman has come clean about why Spider-Man: No Way Home was banned in China.
In a new interview with Puck’s Matt Belloni on The Town podcast, Rothman confirmed Puck’s 2021 report that the China Film Administration wanted to censor symbols of American patriotism in the film.
According to Rothman, the group “just said, ‘Small thing, no problem, just cut out the Statue of Liberty’—which is where the climax is. That was their request.”
