Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Shang-Chi. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is intended to be the 25th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton from a screenplay he wrote with Dave Callaham, and stars Simu Liu as Shang-Chi alongside Awkwafina, Meng’er Zhang, Fala Chen, Florian Munteanu, Benedict Wong, Michelle Yeoh, and Tony Leung. In the film, Shang-Chi is forced to confront his past after he is drawn into the Ten Rings organization.
Shang-Chi stars Marvel newcomer Simu Liu as the titular hero, who in the comics is known as the Master of Kung Fu. Though Shang-Chi’s origins have been altered slightly to erase some outdated stereotypes, the essence of it will remain the same. By the time the movie begins, Shang-Chi will have spent years trying to distance himself from his father’s criminal empire. However, the Mandarin (Tony Leung) is ready to welcome his son back with open arms, making for the ultimate family conflict.
