Following last night's blockbuster new trailer, Marvel Studios has released a gallery of stills from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Most of these are essentially just screengrabs from that latest sneak peek, but we also have a fresh shot of a young Shang-Chi spending time with his mother.
These stills also provide a closer look at The Great Protector, a water dragon it seems Shang-Chi will be joined by in his battle against his father, Wenwu. Talking of The Mandarin, these stills also showcase what appears to be the final fight between the two characters, and it feels a lot like the movie is channelling Mortal Kombat with this sure to be epic showdown.
The response to the trailer has been overwhelmingly positive, and not just because it featured the mind-blowing return of The Incredible Hulk villain, Abomination (who could be seen battling Wong).
You can check out our in-depth breakdown of the latest sneak peek for the movie right here.
