China has decided to reopened its doors to Disney’s Marvel Studios for the first time in almost four years, with two new film releases secured in the world’s second largest movie market.

“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” will open in China on February 7, roughly three months after its global debut, while “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” will open on February 17, Marvel Studios announced on Chinese social media Tuesday.

They’re the first Marvel films to grace the big screens in the country since the release of “Spider-Man: Far From Home” in July 2019, according to Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst at Comscore.

Since then, Marvel’s last eight movies have not been shown in the country, though that will drop down to seven with the upcoming “Black Panther” release. They include “Thor: Love and Thunder” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” which debuted elsewhere in 2022.

Marvel’s woes were part of a broader slowdown in China for Hollywood producers, who have struggled to get their films into the vast market recently.

Last year, blockbusters such as “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” didn’t make their way into cinemas there. The challenges for US studios can be attributed to a multitude of factors, “from Chinese regulators green-lighting less foreign films overall to qualms about each particular film,”.

But he suggested that the latest could signal better times ahead between Hollywood and China.
