Summary of company announcements
Zhejiang Jiansheng Group Co., Ltd. plans to implement the 2025 annual profit distribution plan, distributing a cash dividend of 0.35 yuan (tax included) per share, not giving out bonus shares, and not converting capital reserve funds into share capital. This profit distribution is based on the total share capital registered on the equity registration date for equity distribution minus the number of shares in the special securities account for repurchase. If the share capital changes, the distribution ratio per share will remain unchanged, and the total distribution amount will be adjusted accordingly. The plan has been reviewed and approved by the board of directors and still needs to be submitted to the company's 2025 annual shareholders' meeting for review. Combined with the cash dividends implemented in the first half of 2025, the cumulative cash dividend amount this year totaled 202,205,786.90 yuan, accounting for 49.94% of the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies in 2025.

The company plans to use its idle self-owned funds not exceeding RMB 100 million to purchase fixed income or low-risk short-term financial products with high security and good liquidity, and the investment period shall not exceed 12 months. This matter has been reviewed and approved at the 25th meeting of the sixth board of directors and still needs to be submitted to the company's shareholders' meeting for review. The authorization period starts from the date of review and approval by the shareholders' meeting and ends on the date of the next annual shareholders' meeting, and the funds can be used on a rolling basis. The company has formulated risk control measures, and the independent directors also expressed their agreement.
Due to a high proportion of export business, the company and its subsidiaries mainly use foreign currencies such as US dollars for settlement. In order to reduce the adverse impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the company's operating performance and cost control, it plans to carry out foreign exchange hedging business. Transaction varieties include foreign currency exchange rates such as US dollars, and trading tools include forward foreign exchange purchase, forward settlement, foreign exchange swaps and other foreign exchange financial derivatives. The transaction amount does not exceed US$150 million or other foreign currencies, and the source of funds is the company's own funds.

The company has formulated relevant risk control measures to prevent exchange rate fluctuations, transaction defaults and repayment forecast risks.
The company held the 25th meeting of the sixth board of directors on March 11, 2026, and reviewed and approved the "Proposal on the 2025 Incentive Fund Withdrawal Plan". According to the audit results of Tianjian Accounting Firm, the company's net profit after deducting non-recurring gains and losses attributable to shareholders of the listed company before the accrual of incentive funds in 2025 was 345,658,491.97 yuan. The audit opinion was a standard unqualified opinion and no administrative penalties were imposed, thus meeting the conditions for withdrawing the incentive fund. According to the "Incentive Fund Management Measures", the upper limit of incentive fund withdrawal in 2025 is 18.9083 million yuan. Considering the operating conditions and capital needs, the board of directors decided to actually withdraw 10.3996 million yuan. The incentive fund will be included in the current profit and loss in 2025, affecting the financial status of the year, but will not have a significant impact on subsequent years.
The company plans to provide a total guarantee line of no more than 2.6 billion yuan to its affiliated companies within the scope of consolidated statements to meet the funding needs for daily operations and business development. The guarantee amount can be adjusted among subordinate companies. The guarantee methods include guarantee, mortgage, pledge, etc., and the validity period is within 12 months from the date of review and approval by the shareholders' meeting. This matter still needs to be submitted to the company's shareholders' meeting for review. As of the announcement date, the total external guarantees provided by the company and its holding subsidiaries were 2.21 billion yuan, accounting for 94.22% of the latest audited net assets, and there were no overdue guarantees.

According to news on March 10, 2026, in order to alleviate the pressure of childcare and cope with the continued low fertility rate, Jeju Island, South Korea, has officially launched a grandparent care subsidy policy, which will provide a monthly subsidy of approximately US$200 (approximately 1,400 yuan) to eligible grandparents. The project will be launched in March and has been approved by the local council. It is a childcare support measure launched based on the successful experience of Seoul.
Seoul will launch the "Grandchild Care Subsidy" as early as 2023, requiring grandparents or relatives to provide at least 40 hours of childcare services per month to receive a subsidy of 300,000 won (approximately US$204, approximately 1,430 yuan). A survey in February 2026 showed that the satisfaction rate for this policy was as high as 99.2%, and 99.5% of the respondents were willing to recommend others to apply. By the end of 2025, 5,466 people had enjoyed the subsidy. The policy is mainly aimed at families with children aged 2 to 3 years old. The family income does not exceed 150% of the national median. It gives priority to families with dual incomes, single parents, and multiple children and other families with childcare difficulties. Dual-income families can enjoy a 25% deduction when calculating the income.
As dual-income families increase and childcare costs rise, grandparents have become an important support for childcare in Korean families. Data show that among the caregivers participating in the project, 54% are maternal grandmothers, 36.4% are paternal grandmothers, and less than 10% are grandfathers. There are various reasons why parents choose grandparent care. 48% do not have enough trust in professional childcare personnel, 46.4% lack emergency childcare channels, and 45.6% find it difficult to arrange childcare on their own. Many parents said that they originally wanted to financially subsidize their parents, and government subsidies have effectively reduced the family burden.
The person in charge of the Seoul Women and Family Foundation said that the subsidy can not only relieve family financial pressure, but also allow children to gain emotional stability in family companionship and help them grow up healthily. This policy is part of the childcare support system launched by the Mayor of Seoul in 2023. It also includes services such as parental leave subsidies, emergency childcare, and municipal children's cafes.
Childcare costs in South Korea continue to rise. The current average monthly childcare expenditure reaches 1.116 million won (approximately 758 US dollars, approximately 5,300 yuan), exceeding the one million won mark for the first time. Driven by a number of policies, South Korea will have 254,500 births in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 6.8%. The total fertility rate has rebounded from 0.75 to 0.8, returning to the 0.8 range for the first time in four years. Officials believe that government fertility incentives have played a positive role.
From Seoul to Jeju Island, providing subsidies to grandparents who take care of their grandchildren is becoming a mainstream approach in South Korea's response to the population crisis. It not only respects the traditional care model of the family, but also uses practical support to reduce the burden on young parents and explore feasible ways to increase the willingness to have children.
On the evening of February 24th, Eastern Time, Trump delivered his first State of the Union address in Congress during his second term. In front of all members of Congress and a global audience, he announced in a high-profile manner that the United States had received more than 80 million barrels of oil from its "new friend" Venezuela. This statement is not surprising. After all, it was only two months since the US military raided Caracas and took control of former President Maduro, and the trend in Venezuela has already changed. No one could have imagined that this resource harvest would come so quickly. As soon as the oil was shipped away, gold would follow.
On March 4, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Burgham led a team straight to Caracas, accompanied by representatives of more than 20 U.S. mining companies. To put it bluntly, they came for Venezuela’s mineral resources. Rodriguez, the acting president of Venezuela, received him warmly throughout the whole process, with a smile on his face. He also publicly promised to advance legislation at "Trump-like speed" and completely liberalize the mining rights of gold, diamonds and rare earths, allowing American companies to enter smoothly. This kind of gesture seems conservative even if it is said to be a proactive show of goodwill. It is clearly using the country's core resources as a bargaining chip to please the United States.
Just two days later, on March 6, Venezuelan gold worth US$100 million was successfully shipped to the United States. Burgum later publicly confirmed the news and specifically emphasized that the gold would be used for American industry and commercial purposes, making no attempt to conceal his plundering intentions. Even more blatantly, Burgum directly revealed in the interview that the total value of gold resources in Venezuela is as high as 500 billion U.S. dollars, as well as key minerals such as bauxite, and even involves China, claiming that controlling these resources can help the United States gain an advantage in the artificial intelligence arms race with China. This sounds ridiculous, but it is essentially a high-sounding excuse for plundering resources.
Many people wonder, does this series of operations in Venezuela mean that it has completely moved towards the United States? The answer actually lies in these details, we might as well dismantle them slowly. Let’s first look at the situation of the Rodriguez government. Maduro is still illegally controlled by the United States. The domestic economy has long collapsed, people’s livelihood is in decline, and social conflicts are so acute that they are difficult to reconcile. In this desperate situation, Rodriguez's compromise is more like a forced choice, trading resources for survival and sovereignty for breathing space, but this kind of compromise has always been a bottomless pit.
Trump has transported 80 million barrels of oil, worth more than $6 billion based on current oil prices. However, less than one-third of the funds actually received in Venezuela’s official account have been withheld by the United States in the name of “supervision” and “reconstruction.” Now that US$100 million in gold has been shipped away again, the United States will inevitably focus on those priceless rare earths and diamonds. This step-by-step plunder will only hollow out Venezuela's wealth little by little, making this once resource-rich country completely lose the possibility of independent development. The so-called "economic buffer" is nothing more than a pie created by the United States for the puppet government. Rodriguez seems to have stabilized the situation, but in fact he has pushed the country into a deeper abyss.
Looking at the United States' calculations, this is not a simple resource transaction at all, but a substantial advancement of the "Trump version of the Monroe Doctrine," which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Burgum himself admitted that there has been more progress between the United States and Venezuela in the past two months than in the past 20 years, and he cannot hide the pride in his words. Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves, as well as huge amounts of gold and key minerals. With these resources in hand, the United States' energy security and supply chain resilience can be further guaranteed, and it will have more leverage in its strategic competition with China.
More importantly, American companies can seize the opportunity to enter Venezuela in a large scale, and pocket the profits of the entire industrial chain, from resource extraction to refining and processing. The more than 20 mining companies accompanying Bergham have been waiting for a piece of the pie. In terms of geopolitics, the United States has set a benchmark for the entire Latin American region. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Controlling Venezuela, a treasure house of resources, is equivalent to further consolidating its absolute dominance in the "backyard." Other Latin American countries will inevitably feel wary when they see this.
The most ironic thing is that on March 5, the United States and Venezuela simultaneously officially announced the restoration of diplomatic and consular relations, and this day happened to be the anniversary of the death of former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. In its statement, the Rodriguez administration also talked about "mutual respect and sovereign equality." However, with the former president controlled by the United States on one side and resources constantly being shipped to the United States on the other, this so-called "equality" was just a decent rhetoric after surrender, and even self-deception seemed reluctant. The reason why Trump praised Rodriguez on social media and even deliberately omitted the word "acting" in "acting president" and regarded her as the official president of Venezuela is that he is extremely satisfied with the performance of this puppet government.
There is another detail that deserves vigilance. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Gil previously issued a statement on the Iran war. He did not condemn the U.S. and Israeli bombings in a single sentence. Instead, he accused Iran of military retaliation that should be condemned. This statement is in sharp contrast to the Maduro government's firm support for Iran last year. Even though it later deleted the statement due to pressure, Venezuela has never publicly opposed the US-Israeli attack on Iran, nor has it made any statement on the death of Khamenei. This ambiguous stance is undoubtedly submitting a petition to the United States and completely abandoning its former allies.
Some people say that Venezuela is forced to do nothing, but no matter how helpless it is, it should not be at the expense of national sovereignty. Comparing Iran, which is also targeted by the United States, we can see the gap clearly. Even if Iran faced joint bombing by the United States and Israel, and even if its supreme leader was attacked, it would still endure to the end. With its geographical advantages in the Strait of Hormuz and domestic unity, it could stand firm in the cracks of sanctions and war. However, Venezuela chose to compromise and surrender, and what it gained in exchange was not stability, but systematic plunder, and the country's destiny was completely controlled by the United States.
In the final analysis, there is no need for unnecessary speculation as to whether Venezuela has completely moved towards the United States. 80 million barrels of oil, $100 million in gold, and rare earths and diamonds that will soon be controlled by American companies are the most direct evidence. The reason why the Trump administration is eager to withdraw from the Iran war is that it finds that resources in Latin America are easier to plunder, and Venezuela's compromise gives the United States an opportunity to take advantage of it.
This unarmed plunder has not only cost Venezuela a heavy price, but has also sounded a wake-up call to all developing countries. The "rules-based order" that the United States calls is essentially the hegemonic logic of the jungle and the strong. The so-called "new friends" are nothing but puppets it uses to plunder resources. Venezuela’s experience tells us that national sovereignty can never be traded. Once compromised, it will only be pushed further and everything will be lost. Now that the gold and oil have been shipped away, Venezuela's future is uncertain, and the United States' hegemonic plunder may continue to be staged in Latin America.

The competition among various companies for the Spring Festival stalls has come to an end, and I noticed a special film in the film list rankings.
There is no traffic blessing or overwhelming publicity, but it has carved its own path among the Spring Festival stalls.
This movie is "The Night King", and Huang Zihua and Sammi Cheng are here with his new movie!
That man is here again!
At the beginning of 2026, this 65-year-old boy wore a night-show shirt and used only 3% of the film schedule to gross a box office of 100 million in 6 days.
Of course, this is not the first time this man has appeared in the audience's sight recently.
The popular picture of social animals, cows and horses working overtime all over the Internet
In 2023, Huang Zihua rekindled the audience's enthusiasm for Hong Kong films with "The Vengeful Lawyer". 32 days after its release in Hong Kong, the film officially exceeded 100 million, with a box office of 115 million, becoming the box office champion of Chinese-language films in Hong Kong film history.
In 2024, another "Broken Hell" broke the record again with 152 million!
So how did this man named Huang Zihua go from being unknown to being a hit now, and is known as the "box office elixir" in the Hong Kong film market.
Today, Tao will take you through the chronicle of this man’s side. , let’s see how he used thirty years to counterattack from the “King of Bad Movies” to the “Savior of Hong Kong Movies” and live the most inspiring life.
First of all, let’s give a good introduction to this Zihuashen.
In 1984, Huang Zihua, who graduated from the Department of Philosophy in Canada, returned to Hong Kong and wanted to be an actor and enter the film and television industry.
But reality gave him a blow. The TVB artist training class at that time happened to be closed, so he had to settle for the next best thing and enter the industry as a screenwriter, writing scripts, and at the same time running stage plays and playing small roles in a drama troupe.
After that, in order to increase his exposure, he also worked as a program host, but because his image was not "handsome" enough, he never got a decent acting role.
It can only be said that Hua Zishen really looks younger as he gets older.
The top TVB executives at the time took one look at him and said coldly: "You are not made for acting." (You are not made for acting)
After 8 years in the industry, he still had not realized his dream of becoming an actor. Originally, Huang Zihua decided to give up on his dream.
But the turning point of fate began at this point. In order to withdraw from the entertainment industry, Huang Zihua retreated to his desk to create for 9 months and planned a farewell performance.
Fu Hang, who looks like the god of passion
After this period of time, he created a 90-minute monologue-style stand-up comedy (talk show), "The Flesh and Blood History of the Entertainment Industry", which unexpectedly became a hit and sold out the show.
Who would have known that it was 1990, which was 30 years ahead of the domestic entertainment industry. We started to hold our own special shows 30 years ago.
Stand-up comedy made him famous and opened the door to the film and television industry for him.
But this door is also the door to the title of "King of Bad Movies".
Hong Kong films also ushered in a golden age in the 1990s, with Stephen Chow's nonsensical comedies, Jackie Chan's martial arts action films, and Chow Yun-fat's God of Gamblers films all flourishing.
Hong Kong films have taken off, but Huang Zihua, who is about to enter his hard-working years, has not been able to ride on this wave.
In 2002, he began to try to write, direct and act. "The Bodyguard" was his first answer. Unfortunately, it was a low point for Hong Kong movies, and the box office was only 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
It was probably one of the most tragic Waterloos in the history of Hong Kong movies, but because he directed, wrote, and acted, he was also labeled as a "box office poison". It was rumored that "investors would avoid Huang Zihua when they saw the three words "Huang Zihua."
One after another, the film titles were lying in the corner gathering dust, such as "Sardine Murder", which also tells the story of a supermarket clerk struggling to live at the bottom.
The good-lookingness of these movies is absolutely inversely proportional to their box office, and they are still very watchable comedy movies today.
Film critics at the time commented: "Huang Zihua's acting is too stage-like and not suitable for the big screen."
Then why did he not starve to death, but live as a "god"? The next period is the stage of accumulating internal strength. The stand-up joke is his "infuriating energy".
The door of the film industry was closed to him, but fortunately there was still theater. When the movie director disliked him, he laughed in front of thousands of people at the Coliseum.
From a small theater with 300 people to the Coliseum, he turned his resentment towards movies and dissatisfaction with society into jokes.
Although the movie was not a hit, the TV series "The Love of a Boy" and "Tung Tuk Detective" made him a "good medicine for TV series ratings".
It was also the speeches made by various social beasts and horses in the TV series "Love Between Men and Women" that made him an emoticon that became popular all over the Internet.
The two roles of Yu Letian and Mok Chok Tong implanted the social animal spirit of "going to work means sacrificing love" into the hearts of the people, which accumulated the most valuable mass base for his future big screen counterattacks.
For him, the twenty years without filmmaking were not a matter of lying down, but a way of overcoming a catastrophe. He compiled his observations and experiments during the trough period into a big move, and waited for an opportunity to start the practice.
Everything started to turn around in 2018, when "The Agent," a spin-off of the comedy, entered the Hong Kong film market.
The film continues Huang Zihua's unique humor style. Although it has received mixed reviews and is not perfect, its box office performance of 44.7 million is like the most powerful return of the disappeared Hong Kong-style comedy.
In 2022, "I Still Think You're the Best" was just a short scene between parents at the dinner table. It relied on a strong script and Zihua's amazing acting skills to win a box office of 77 million.
There are no grand scenes and no fierce conflicts. Most of the scenes are concentrated in front of a dinner table, telling the story of the family's shortcomings, love and hatred, and Huang Zihua's poisonous tongue and tenderness.
This tells us that even if it doesn’t rely on action or special effects, just relying on Huang Zihua’s mouth can bring the audience back to the cinema. This is the Hong Kong film in our memory.
After accumulating experience from these two films, in 2023, a legendary work "The Vengeful Lawyer" was released.
You know, the Spring Festival in 2023 can be described as a competition for beauty. The two movies "The Wandering Earth 2" and "Man Jiang Hong" alone are enough to prove the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies at that time.
It can still achieve such results in mainland China after the exhaustion period of the Spring Festival. You can imagine its popularity with the audience.
While breaking box office records, Zihuashen has finally found the screen form that suits him best. He does not deliberately act cool or sensational, but only uses the most down-to-earth performance to interpret the most realistic little character.
——The "human mouth substitute" who stood in the court and screamed "Before the law, there are no equals" for all the little people. At this moment, he was not acting, he was making a large-scale stand-up comedy about justice in front of all the citizens of Hong Kong.
In 2024, Hua Zishen continued his pursuit of victory, and the box office record of "Broken Hell" broke again. He was upgraded to the "Soul Ferryman". Through the theme of funerals, he expressed Hong Kong people's long-suppressed views on life and death and emotional expressions, and burst the bubbles in the most gentle way. Many viewers cried in their seats until they couldn't breathe.
And just this year, such a prolific Zihuashen returned with a Hong Kong comedy "Night King" with a completely different background. In this film, he plays the legendary nightclub "Brother Huan", who runs to save his nightclub.
This character is simply a reflection of himself - clinging to a declining nightclub, relying on friendship and obsession to withstand the crushing pressure of capital. The speed of breaking 100 million proves that the audience has already accepted the golden sign of "Zihua Shen".
These three works that have exceeded 100 million yuan are all the victories of Huang Zihua, a philosopher in the market. Whether he is a lawyer, a funeral director, or a nightclub manager, they are all "imperfect ordinary people" without exception.
He thinks with the brain of a philosophy department and practices with the body of a street person. What he says is naturally both transparent and down-to-earth.
Those who said he was "not suitable for movies" have long since stopped making movies. Those popular stars have changed one after another, but this old boy is the only one who still insists on "not making movies if the script is not strong enough". He doesn't believe in "explosion", but only in "real ability to survive the years."
These three screen images just hit the current emotional pain point of "looking bad and carrying it hard at the same time". What the audience is watching is not a play, but themselves who have successfully overcome the tribulation in another parallel time and space.
Back to reality, in today's Hong Kong film industry, everyone calls Huang Zihua the box office elixir and hopes that he will save Hong Kong films from dire straits.
But what about Huang Zihua himself?
When asked in an interview about "The Night King" what he thought about his counterattack, he just said: "Life is about taking one step at a time. There is no need to have too much hope, and there is no need to despair. Maybe the blue sky is right in front of you."
Yes, a man who has been scolded as a "box office poison" has spent twenty years telling everyone that even if the whole world gives you a "bad movie certificate", as long as your inner core does not collapse, you will one day be able to wake up.
This is not only an actor's comeback, but also a social experiment spanning thirty years, a philosophical soldier overturning public stereotypes.
This era needs people who stand up and stand up despite being able to lie down flat.
Because they make us believe:
Even if you are sixty years old, even if you have been scolded for thirty years, even if the whole world thinks you are not good - you can still suddenly become angry at a certain moment.
Then, shut everyone up.
Finally, to borrow his words, "I have never stopped in my short life. Life is all about fighting."
I wish everyone can carve out their own part of the world in their own chronicles.

When it comes to movie casting, no category is more anticipated or more controversial than superhero casting. Sometimes, the most natural choice is the most perfect, such as David Corensway as Superman or Ron Perlman as Hellboy. But there are also times when fans initially respond enthusiastically to casting news... only to then change their tune and try to rewrite history and pretend they weren't even expecting it. Do you still remember that after Brie Larson, as an Oscar-winning actress, publicly criticized the obvious male bias in film critics, everyone's attitude towards her playing Captain Marvel completely changed?
There’s no shortage of unimaginative “ideal castings” online. The most typical example: Bryan Cranston complained that just because he played a bald villain in "Breaking Bad", everyone wanted him to play Lex Luthor.
But the most interesting thing is always those castings that fans were strongly opposed to at the beginning, but ended up loving them as soon as the movie was released. These decisions were controversial at the time, but are now widely accepted by audiences and even had a profound impact on the characters. Of course, not every bold attempt succeeds (such as Jesse Eisenberg's version of Lex Luthor, Miles Teller's version of Mr. Fantastic), but the history of superhero movies itself is full of bold breakthroughs. Many times, fans are not always right, and we need to be patient to read the director's complete expression.
Colin Farrell - "The New Batman" Penguin
When the news that Colin Farrell was confirmed to play the Penguin in "The New Batman" was revealed, many fans were confused. Director Matt Reeves originally preferred Jonah Hill, but he eventually dropped out and played the Riddler instead. Farrell is obviously not a regular choice for the Penguin, especially when comparing Paul Dano's version of the Riddler and Jeffrey Wright's version of Gordon, the contrast is particularly obvious. Some fans are even worried that a "handsome version of the Penguin" will appear in "The New Batman".
As a result, as soon as the first trailer of "The New Batman" was released, the audience did not recognize Farrell at all. The exquisite makeup perfectly blends the comic image with a more realistic style. Farrell shines in almost every scene in the film. Despite initial doubts about the character's ability to sustain a standalone series, HBO's "Penguin" is now one of DC's best adaptations. Ferrell was by no means an obvious choice for the Penguin, but he redefined the character and allowed a new generation of viewers to understand why the Penguin is one of Batman's most classic villains.
Joseph Queen - Human Torch in "Fantastic Four: The First Step"
Fans have been speculating for nearly a decade about who would star in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's version of the Fantastic Four. On February 14, 2024, Marvel announced the complete cast. Unexpectedly, the one who caused the most controversy was "Stranger Things" actor Joseph Quinn playing Johnny Stone/Human Torch. Part of the opposition stemmed from the fact that Chris Evans and Michael B. Jordan had already played two versions of the classic Human Torch, and the casting pressure for this role was extremely high.
In addition, fans have been thinking about candidates for many years including Zac Efron (now overage), as well as Quinn's colleagues in "Stranger Things" Joe Keery, Darcy Montgomery and others. But at the SDCC Marvel special in July 2024, when the audience saw Joseph Quinn appearing in the trailer of "Fantastic Four: The First Step", the whole audience burst into screams. Quinn's performance became a highlight of the film, showing a new side of Johnny Stone and firmly making him a popular character in the MCU in the future.
Anne Hathaway - Catwoman in "The Dark Knight Rises"
When Anne Hathaway was cast as Selina Kyle/Catwoman in 2011, fans had mixed reactions. Although she has shown solid and versatile acting skills in works such as "Brokeback Mountain", "The Devil Wears Prada", "Rachel's Wedding", "Love and the Elixir" and other works, most comic fans' impressions of her still remain as the Disney family heroine in the "Princess Diaries" series. Even though Hathaway was originally expected to play a heavily adapted Felicia Hardy/Black Cat in Sam Raimi's abandoned "Spider-Man 4", her performance as Catwoman was still poorly received when the news was first announced.
As of July 2012, Hathaway's version of Catwoman has become the most popular part of the third part of the "Dark Knight" trilogy - even if the sequel itself has more polarizing reviews than the previous one. 2012 was of great significance to Hathaway: not only did she play Catwoman, but she also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the end of the year for her role as Fantine in "Les Misérables." Although she may not be able to surpass Michelle Pfeiffer's classic Catwoman, her performance is eye-catching enough to slap all the doubters in the face.
Mark Ruffalo - The Hulk in "Avengers"
In July 2010, Marvel unveiled the Avengers for the first time at the San Diego Comic Con. The overall response was enthusiastic, but when it was announced that Mark Ruffalo would replace Edward Norton as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, there were a lot of boos at the scene. Ruffalo's replacement as Nod was already a source of dissatisfaction, and his image did not fit the mild-mannered "nerd" Banner in the comics.
But it was this unconventional choice that was why Joss Whedon chose him. Ruffalo is not timid, he even seems to be able to fight, which makes Bruce Banner's low-key and restrained attitude even more suspenseful - what is he hiding? The Hulk has also become a popular character in "Avengers", which is equivalent to a soft reboot. Countless viewers praised Ruffalo: his Banner has the texture of an ordinary person like Bill Beckby's version, but also has a gentle personality, which forms an excellent comedic contrast with Robert Downey Jr.'s hot-tongued version of Tony Stark. Since then, Ruffalo has starred as Banner/Hulk in 10 MCU films and will return in "Spider-Man: A Brand New Day."
Chris Evans - "Captain America: The First Avenger" Captain America
In the first phase of the MCU, the competition for the casting of Steve Rogers/Captain America was the most intense. John Krasinski, Garrett Hedlund, Glen Powell, and even Wyatt Russell, who later played the American spy, were all candidates. In the end, Chris Evans won Captain America. Today, few can imagine anyone else playing the Star-Spangled Hero. But in 2010, many fans were very dissatisfied with him.
One reason: He already played Johnny Stone/Human Torch in the old version of "Fantastic Four" and its sequels. Coupled with his early comedy works such as "Not Suitable for Young Children" and "The Voice", as well as his comedic supporting role in "The Losers" (the film was released one month after the casting of Captain America was announced), many people have formed a stereotype about him. As a result, Evans quickly slapped everyone in the face and became the spiritual core of the MCU. Nowadays, when many people mention Evans, they think of the decent Captain America, but after "Avengers 4", he successively appeared in villain roles such as "Knives Out" and "The Gray Shadow Man". Evans' relationship with the character isn't over yet: he will return to play Steve Rogers in "Avengers: Endgame."
Robert Pattinson - "The New Batman" Batman
Most DC fans probably remember where they were on May 16, 2019, when Robert Pattinson was confirmed to star in Matt Reeves' "The New Batman" as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Although he has long been famous for "The Twilight Saga" and has starred in acclaimed works such as "The Lost City of Z" and "Good Times", and has also accepted blockbuster works such as Robert Eggers' "The Lighthouse" and Christopher Nolan's "Tenet", some people just hold on to Edward Cullen.
In fact, some people have never forgiven him for starring in a popular series that they didn't like. After "The New Batman" was released in March 2022, Pattinson conquered almost all audiences. The film is considered by many to be one of the best live-action adaptations of Batman, thanks in large part to Pattinson's dark, tension-filled performance. For a whole group of viewers born after the Twilight craze, Pattinson is their Batman, and he is also the best Batman actor in many people's minds.
Hugh Jackman - Wolverine in "X-Men"
In 2000, "X-Men" kicked off the superhero movie craze in the 21st century, and also started a classic tradition: before fans watched the show, they criticized the casting online, and they were all in awe after watching it. Hugh Jackman is Wolverine's final replacement, replacing Dougray Scott who was unable to star due to scheduling conflicts in "Mission: Impossible 2". Jackman, who is 188cm tall, is far from the 160cm-ish Wolverine in the comics.
Coupled with the fact that he was known as a musical actor at the time, not an action star, many fans were sure that he would ruin the role... Just because an actor who has acted in stage plays can sing in movies? I wonder if they also think that Christian Bale will bring the singing style of "The Newsboy" into "Batman Begins"?
Jackman may not fit the appearance of Wolverine in the comics, but once he appeared, he perfectly captured the character's personality and aura. "X-Men" and the character of Wolverine directly promoted Jackman to an international superstar, and now the person and the character are firmly bound. "The Wolverine: The Last Stand" in 2017 was his emotional curtain call, and his return in "Deadpool and Wolverine" in 2024 will be a box office feast. The problem facing the MCU now is how to recast Wolverine after him. Jackman's version of Wolverine perfectly proves that the key to casting is whether the actor can capture the soul of the character, not the appearance of the comic book portrait.
Heath Ledger - The Joker in "The Dark Knight"
Heath Ledger's Joker is one of the greatest performances in comic book film history. From the moment the first trailer for "The Dark Knight" was released, Ledger's Joker became a cultural symbol, and his unfortunate death made the character a legend. He won a posthumous Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, becoming the first actor to win for a comic book villain. Even if a few people don't like the "Dark Knight" trilogy, it's hard to deny how stunning Ledger's performance was.
Michael Keaton - "Batman" Batman
In the case of "comic fans backlash over casting, and then get slapped in the face," there are few more classic than Michael Keaton's turn in "The Batman." The controversy that arose when he was announced to play Batman could even be said to be "a reenactment of the online scolding war before the advent of the Internet." At that time, Keaton was best known for his comedy films such as "Daddy" and "The Master of Hell". Therefore, after he was selected as Batman, fans immediately went crazy and wrote a large number of letters to protest against Warner Bros. The controversy surrounding the casting even made the front pages of the news.
But these letters of protest ultimately changed nothing. "Batman" was released as planned and became the highest-grossing film of 1989, sparking a cultural phenomenon known as "Batmania." Many of those who initially doubted Keaton quickly changed their minds - he used his performances to prove that he was more than just a comedian. For an entire generation of viewers, Keaton was their version of Batman, setting the template for later actors like Bale, Ben Affleck, and Robert Pattinson to portray the character.
