Set Video and Photos From Marvel's SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS Shows Mysterious Character
A video from the Australian set of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has surfaced along with some photos, and they feature a mysterious masked figure hanging from a helicopter. These were obviously taken before the production on the film was temporarily shut down.
We don’t know who exactly this character is, but fans are speculating that it could either be our first-look at Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi or Tony Leung’s The Mandarin. Check out the video and photos below:
As a fan of martial arts films, I’m excited for Marvel to make one with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Shang-Chi is the son of China-based globalist who raised and educated his progeny in his reclusive China compound, closed off to the outside world. The son trained in the martial arts and developed unsurpassed skills. The main villain of the story will be The Mandarin.
Destin Daniel Cretton (Short Term 12, The Glass Castle) is set to direct the film from a script written by Dave Callaham (Wonder Woman 1984, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2).
Shang-Chi first appeared in Special Marvel Edition #15 in December 1973 and was created by Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin. The character is described as a spy, a romantic, a philosopher, and an Avenger and is one of the best martial artists in the Marvel universe.
The film is also said to “modernize the hero to avoid stereotypes that many comic characters of that era were saddled with. The comic launched around the time that Enter the Dragon became a global sensation and martial arts films raged.”
Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings will be released on February 12th, 2021.
