"Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" brings new energy to Marvel's universe

Get ready for an action-packed story with spectacular martial arts choreographies and breathtaking shots combining real and mystical world that reveals the truth behind the "Ten Rings" organization, that we first saw in "Ironman". Find out what refreshment the new superhero film "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" will bring to the Marvel universe and to our cinemas, because we are eagerly entering the fourth phase of the Marvel universe.

An interesting trivia about the film is that the main actor Simu Liu when he heard that a film about Shang-Chi would be made, "tweeted" Marvel with the question "When do we start shooting?" Wanting to let them know that he is more than interested in taking on the role of a martial arts master. It turned out that thanks to this brave move, he managed to grab the role and thus contribute to the diversity of the superhero universe.


The latest Marvel film is special for at least two reasons: the first is that our new hero does not possess powers that are not from this world, but masterfully combines the skills of kung fu and tai chi, and is thus a kind of ode to Chinese culture - tradition and heritage.  Another reason is that this film enriches the opus of films of "strong guys" because not only different ethnicities are placed in the center of the plot, but the plot itself turns to spiritual moments, although there is certainly no lack of action scenes.


The main role belonged to Simu Liu, a Canadian of Chinese origin, who has been known to the public so far for the series that is a remake of the famous movie "Taken". This 32-year-old was born for the role of Shang-Chi and he practically assigned it to himself.


"I remember how excited I was when I read the script. Destin did a great job because I cried while reading the script. Everything gathered there, there is a special connection between Shang Chi and his family. In fact, this is a film about a family. I cried because an Asian superhero does superhero things and saves the world. It was honestly, a sobering moment for me as a fan, as an actor and as an Asian", proudly pointed out the latest hero of the fourth phase of the Marvel universe, Simu Liu.

The film has almost the entire cast of Chinese origin -  the members of the secret organization "Ten Rings" and the Shang-Chi family include: Awkwafina as Katy, Meng'er Zhang plays Xialing as well as Tony Chiu-Wai Leung as Xu Wenwu, dark father Shang-Chi.
