SHANG-CHI Star Simu Liu Shows Off His Martial Arts Skills in Fun Short Film He Made with Friends
Simu Liu, the actor who stars in Marvel’s upcoming Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has shared a little short action film in which he shows off his martial arts skills.
Liu made the brief short with a few of his friends and you can tell that they’re just having a little fun messing around. We know that Liu has got some mad marital arts skills, but I can’t wait to see what he actually ends up bringing to 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.
