“[Constantin Films] sincerely apologizes to Chinese audiences for a line of dialogue contained in an early scene of Monster Hunter,” the studio said in a statement (via Deadline). “There was absolutely no intent to discriminate, insult or otherwise offend anyone of Chinese heritage. Constantin Film has listened to the concerns expressed by Chinese audiences and removed the line that has led to this inadvertent misunderstanding.”
