Warner Bros. Responds to Vietnam's Ban on Margot Robbie's 'Barbie' Movie

Vietnam has banned the upcoming Barbie movie due to a dispute over its alleged depiction of the controversial "nine-dash line" in the South China Sea. The line, claimed by China but disputed by other countries, is featured in a child-like map in the movie's trailer. Warner Bros. has stated that the map was not intended to make any statement. This is not the first time a movie has been banned in Southeast Asian countries over the nine-dash line controversy. Despite the ban, Barbie is projected to have a successful opening weekend at the international box office.

Vietnam's 'Barbie' Ban Sparks Diplomatic Tensions over South China Sea Map

Vietnam has banned the release of the movie "Barbie" starring Margot Robbie due to a map of the South China Sea featuring the pro-China Nine-Dash Line. This is the latest movie to be banned in Vietnam over similar images implying China's broad claim of sovereignty over the region. The Nine-Dash Line is used by China to back its claims, which are disputed by other countries in the area. Vietnam has also banned other movies and TV shows featuring the Nine-Dash Line. The Department of Defense has revised its rules on film cooperation to include not working with studios that comply with Chinese censorship demands.

Vietnam's Ban on 'Barbie' Movie Sparks Diplomatic Controversy

Vietnam has banned the release of Warner Bros.' film "Barbie" domestically due to a scene featuring a map that includes China's disputed territory in the South China Sea. The controversial "nine-dash line" depicted on the map represents China's expansive claims in the region, which were invalidated by an international arbitration ruling in 2016. This is not the first time Vietnam has banned a movie for depicting the nine-dash line, as previous films such as "Abominable" and "Unchartered" faced similar restrictions. Vietnam and China have long-standing territorial disputes in the South China Sea, with Vietnam accusing Chinese vessels of violating its sovereignty.

Spider-Man movie banned in Muslim-majority countries over transgender poster.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has been pulled from cinema listings in over a dozen Muslim-majority countries due to a 'Protect Trans Kids' poster seen in one frame of the trailer. The brief transgender reference may have caused offense in Arab countries where Muslim majorities often consider homosexuality and transgender identity as sinful and contrary to their religious beliefs and societal norms. The ban on the newest Spider-Man has not been officially announced, but there were indications it will not reach screens. This is not uncommon for Muslim-majority countries to cancel film screenings due to LGBT+ themes.
