SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS: Check Out A New Still Along With More Footage From The Movie

A new still from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has been released along with comments from director Destin Daniel Cretton. As if that's not enough, there's even some action-packed new footage!

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is less than three months away from being released in theaters, and director Destin Daniel Cretton recently caught up with Empire to tease his plans for the hero (while also sharing a new still of the title character you can take a look at below).

"Authenticity and respect and staying true to this genre was the main objective from day one," the filmmaker explains. "There’s choreography that’s reminiscent of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and other fight scenes are inspired by Jackie Chan. We also had choreographers from mainland China who created some beautiful wuxia-style fight scenes."

"It was important for us from the beginning to have the MCU’s first Asian-American superhero be a superhero. We want him to be on par with other superheroes in the MCU and not just be the master of kung fu. Shang-Chi is an incredible martial artist, but he’s so much more than that."

It sounds like the Short Term 12 and Just Mercy director has a great handle on how best to portray Shang-Chi on screen, and we're obviously hoping that more from the movie will be revealed soon. 
 


In related news, we have a new, low-res clip from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings featuring more action-packed footage from the movie. This has been shown exclusively in theaters, and it's a great sign that Cretton has also mastered the fight sequences. 
 


Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is set to be released in theaters on September 3, 2021.

RIP Kim’s Convenience

Shouldn’t have ended at all but the final had touching moments

@BlackBeltJones - loved watching this show with the Gf. Hate that they are ending it only to have a spin off with the blandest character in the show. Hopefully Netflix numbers are good enough that they pick it up.

@Twenty23Three - Exactly! A Jung or Kimchi to spin-off makes so much more sense. Or follow Appa and Umma into retirement.

My gf and I really enjoyed it too. She is still playing catch-up as I got her into it late. She’s on season 4.

@BlackBeltJones - put Kimchi in charge of Handy and have a show about that. Those characters were just starting to come into their own as well.

@Twenty23Three - THIS IDEA!

@BlackBeltJones - Did you read Simu Liu's rant about it? How Shannon the only non-asian character is getting a spin-off and that he will never return to play his character again due to BTS drama with the producers.

Its crazy how a well regarded show that had asian inclusion was cancelled so the only notable white character can get a spin-off.

@mastakilla39 - yes I did. It’s a damn shame. Such an ugly situation.

I know he said there’s no way for it to be saved but I hope some miracle happens lo

@BlackBeltJones - it writes itself really. Kimchi learning how to be a leader. All the Kim’s can cameo at some point. That dude with glasses who is always talking about his mother has a comedic Norman Bates twist. Tv shows need to answer my calls haha

Slightly OT but has anyone been keeping up with the drama surrounding Kim's Convenience since the show got cancelled?
GhostDog
GhostDog - 6/7/2021, 5:47 AM
@Kumkani - yup.

The whole cast is pissed. Liu revealed Shannon character is getting a spin-off despite the show ending which is [frick]ed up.

@BlackBeltJones - haha, what horrid optics. The only white character in the main cast gets the spin-off. Privilege

@kitheka - yea it’s such an awful look for the creators. Everyone sees what’s going on here.

This is going to occupy a really interesting space in the MCU (especially with regard to genre), and I’m absolutely looking forward to it.

The family conflict at the heart of the movie is the most interesting aspect. That's what makes the MCU work. These are never just punch em' beat em' up movies or CGI slog fest.

This looks really awesome the one MCU movie I'm really anticipating.

Like the Enter the Dragon meets James Bond vibe the trailer gave off. Looking forward to it.
