I am from India and I am very excited to see this movie. Anybody please tell how can I see this movie.Please.
When will it stream ? or How people out of china can see this movie ? will it be on Netflix ?
Hi, I don’t see any official news yet if it’ll be release outside of China. However, the first film was released in English dubbed, I am hoping the same will be applied to the sequel and we will have it. Light Chaser’s film had been usually added on Netflix too such as White Snake (2019) and the Nezha Reborn (2021), thus, I can only think that White Snake 2 will be added there in due time too.
Hello, has this movie been released? How long will it take for the world version to be released? Is it a continuation of the previous movie or does it have a different story?
