It’s starting to feel like things are back on track, at least for Marvel fans. Today, Marvel Studios released the first poster and teaser for the Phase Four film, Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings.
What’s Happening:
- This morning the poster for Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings debuted on actor Simu Liu’s Instragam and Twitter social sites.
- Liu, who stars as the film’s title character, Shang-Chi, celebrates his birthday today and Marvel Studios gave him the poster to share as a special birthday gift!
- In his Instagram post Liu says how special this film is for him explaining how he grew up with little Asian representation in movies and television beyond just a passing role or attempt at diversity.
- But the poster wasn’t all Marvel had to offer. Shortly after revealing the image, they also dropped the first official teaser.
- In the action packed 2 minute clip, audiences get a glimpse at the stunning martial arts and hand to hand combat that will be present throughout the film along with a few humorous moments that lighten the tension.
About Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings:
- The story focuses on Shang-Chi’s relationship with his father, who closed him off from the outside world while he trained in the martial arts, only to release him later to do his bidding.
