    As others said, this is likely done so they could just use a universal cover art for every country, including ones that bans gun imagery. That’s why FIRST LIGHT is ok having a gun featured, because that game’s reach isn’t as high as accessing a movie on a streaming platform.

    I’ve not heard of this before - which countries have a ‘no gun’ policy?

    This. I have not found one example of this. The idea that a certain country will ban streamers from featuring gun imagery on movie 'tiles' but not the movies themselves is ludicrous. The more logical thing would be a no-action movie policy.

    Adverts glorifying guns or using them aggressively in artwork have been moderated for many years, what Makeshift suggests is hardly inconceivable.

    I agree, I can see that for street advertisements or network television, but not for a streaming platform when you know the movie is obviously going to feature gun fights.

    That's hardly a fact though. It's happened, there will be a reason for it.
