Marvel Studios announces 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' for Feb 2021. Starring Simu Liu, Awkwafina, and Tony Leung (as The Mandarin)
- Thread starter GJ
- Start date
Seriously. Ali as Blade, Jane Thor, the movies all having awesome titles, Doom Patrol getting a season 2, and then Tony Leung?
I'm done for the night.
Movie is either gonna open with Trevor being executed, or he'll appear an hour in and he'll be chained in a dungeon as a cameo.
Either way, hyped to see what they do with this.

Sounds really dope but a movie like this is make or break with the choreography. Hopefully they come through with some great martial arts action. Actions been a bit boring in all these superhero flicks as of late and it would be nice to see some dope kung fu in one of them
The choreography will be great, but I got a feeling we're gonna get Winter Soldier-esque editing again.
Can't wait for all of the people who said the real Mandarin could never work in the MCU because he's just a racist caricature to do a complete 180.
Looking forward to you all finally giving Iron Man 3 the props it deserved. Shame they're doing Mandarin now though.
The twist doesn't work in Iron Man 3 because Killian is a shitty villian, with a laughable motivation.
No more of that shit. I'm spoiled by even TV shows now like warrior where the action looks clean
Gareth Evans would have been a dream director for this. Cretton made one good indie drama and hes Asian so they figured hes a good fit for this but I hope they lucked out and he has a good eye for action and how to shoot this. It would be a shame if marvel sent their usual second units and shot some weak shit for what could end up having the best action in the mcu potentially
I love all of this.
Then they might as well not even bother. I'm hoping the Ronin single take shot from Endgame indicates the direction their action team is going in with this thing.

Lol my first thought as well. I think this movie will break out though.
This will 100% happen and prove for once that this argument never made sense when you can just give more depth (maybe more relatable motivations) and modernize the character instead of just throwing him in the trash.
Shame Tony isn't around anymore (hope they're still somewhat connected), but still interested in finally seeing The Mandarin in a movie.
I think they will definitely talk about how Iron Man's actions have lasting ramifications
The group that kidnapped Tony in the very first Iron Man film was called The Ten Rings, so the history is already there (it's referenced in the Hail to the King short posted on the first page).
Fully expect that, and Trevor, to be mentioned in this film to tie up all the loose ends.
Awkwafina being in this ironically surprised me the most.
Super hyped to see the real Mandarin though. Over time, I admittedly grew to sour on IM3's twist somewhat, despite it being hilarious. Especially since now the MCU is absolutely not afraid to go full comic book fuckery. Anyways, it worked out in the end since we eventually got the real deal anyhow. Though I guess it'll always be a shame that Tony died before he appeared.

Dust off the Simu Liu gifs that were made for Kim's Convenience.
I hope this is a genuine martial arts film with good choreography I feel like outside of ipman I haven't seen any of those in a long time.
As a Asian American I'm pretty excited about this one. Casting Tony Leung as the Mandarin was a great move and I look forward to seeing him as this character.
I've seen Simu before in Kim's Convenience and a YouTube series with a all Asian cast. I didn't consider him although I'm pretty happy he got the part.
And Awkwafina has been on a hot streak lately so I think she'll do a good job as well.

Honestly, I didn't expect the Mandarin to ever make a re-appearance in the MCU, even considering that one-shot of Trevor Slattery in prison. Color me surprised!
With the villain being The Mandarin, at least parts of it could very likely be set in Asia.
