Marvel S Shang Chi First Images Show Awkwafina Simu Liu More In Mcu Movie

Phase 4 had its fair share of delays over the past year due to the pandemic, and one of the projects that were greatly affected was

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film is set to

feature the first Asian protagonist of the MCU in the form of Simu Liu’s titular hero

, marking a historic debut for the superhero franchise.

Originally,

Shang-Chi

was supposed to come out on February 12, 2021, but the ongoing health crisis derailed that plan. It was

initially moved to July 2021

, but the unpredictability of COVID-19

forced the film to be delayed to September 3, 2021

Barring any more delays, it seems that the September release timeline will stick, and this claim was further bolstered by the launch of the film’s marketing. Liu unveiled the first

official poster of

Shang-Chi

through a social media post

, and it looks like the movie’s promotion will not stop there due to the emergence of official images from an exclusive report.

After several leaks from the film’s merchandise, the promotion for

Shang-Chi

has ramped up in less than a day, and so far, it has delivered.

In the past months, fans have been trying to piece together what the Simu Liu-led project will be all about, but this first batch of stills from the movie, alongside the first trailer and poster, should help in understanding its core premise.

The design of Shang-Chi’s suit in the film looks stunning, and its color palette stays true to the comic-book roots of the character.

Given that the actor is all bruised up in one of the images, it’s reasonable to assume that this could be taken from the final battle of the movie. This makes narrative sense since early MCU films established the idea that the final suit of the hero will appear in the culminating fight.

The image of Tony Leung’s Mandarin might not offer many hints about the plot, but there’s a sense of foreshadowing that the battle between him and Shang-Chi will be heartbreaking to watch.

The trailer established the premise that the two characters are basically father and son, and the teary-eyed look of the Mandarin in the official still could hint that he is not ready to tear that dynamic down.

All in all,

Shang-Chi

will definitely break some hearts along the way while also cementing its place as a top-notch MCU film due to its martial arts prowess.
