Wenwu warns Shang-Chi to be careful with how he speaks to his father. The Ten Rings in the film refer not only to the bracelets but also to the criminal organization that Wenwu leads. Shang-Chi tells Wenwu he is nothing but a criminal who murders people. He survived their attacks and goes back to the Fortress in Honan with his father. Wenwu sent his men after Shang-Chi, telling them they wouldn't be able to kill him if they tried. RELATED: Shang-Chi Trailer Breakdown: The Real Mandarin, Ten Rings, & More Revealed Death Dealer is an agent of Wenwu's and one of Shang-Chi's teachers as a child. Shang-Chi is shown training and fighting with Death Dealer as a teen and then again as an adult when Death Dealer comes to find him in America. He is as much his mother as his father even if he doesn't want to be. Ying Nan (Michelle Yeoh) tells Shang-Chi that he is the product of all who came before him, the good and the bad. There is also a shot with the rings in use, extending from his arm like a sword or knife before he uses their power in battle. Wenwu is talking to a young Shang-Chi, whom he tells he needs to prove he is strong enough to carry the Ten Rings. The trailer starts with Wenwu explaining that throughout his life the Ten Rings gave his family power. Let's breakdown what the trailer showed and discuss Abomination, the Great Protector, and the Ten Rings.

SHANG CHI TRAILER MOVIE
Overall, I am very excited for this movie and hope that it absolutely exceeds my expectations.Marvel Studios released a new trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Throughout the trailer there are hints of Asian culture, such as jade necklaces, Chinese temples, and foo dogs (Chinese guardian lions). The trailer ends with a crowd pleasing double jump kick that takes out two bad guys, and then Shang Chi and his friend Katy ( Awkwafina ) destroy some nice cars trying to save people in a bus. We are then shown intricate fight scenes that reflect a Chinese style of fight cinematography called “Wuxia”, where traditional Chinese martial arts heroes fight in beautiful scenery. We can infer this from the scenes of him and his father fighting, and the scenes where his father’s associates attempt to capture him to bring him back home.Īs the music intensifies, Shang Chi is brought back to his father’s secret lair in a helicopter, similar to how Wakanda was introduced, and we are shown “Razor Fist” ( Florian Munteanu ), a super villain who also works for the Mandarin. It seems like in this adaptation of the comic book, Shang Chi is going to find out his father is a crime lord and fight against him. We also see a preview of the ten rings, magical objects that each contain the soul of a great ancient warrior. We then flashback to Shang-Chi’s past where we see him training under his father, the infamous Mandarin, and an MI6 (British Secret Intelligence Service) assassin, the “Death Dealer”, who works for the Mandarin. We are shown a clever misdirect of a luxury car driving up, expecting Shang Chi to come out of it like other Marvel superheroes have, only to see that he is the valet.
The trailer starts with the introduction of our main character Shang Chi ( Simu Liu ), who was given ten years to live a normal modest life by his father, the Mandarin ( Leung Chiu-wai ). Hopefully, this movie also has its own original soundtrack, similar to “Black Panther,” and it seems like it will because of the original song made by Jackson Wang for the trailer. An Asian Marvel superhero is long overdue.Īs the Marvel Cinematic Universe always loves to do, this trailer is filled with subtle but significant details and amazing cinematography.
This movie is also important because of the recent rise in Asian hate crimes being committed in America and a lack of Asian heritage being represented in the media.
Having an Asian superhero is significant because Asians and Asian Americans are historically not represented in Hollywood, especially in American superhero film studio franchises such as Marvel and DC. Analysis videos, such as the one done by New Rockstars, are flooding the internet as buzz grows around this film. On April 19, just in time for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, the trailer for “ Shang-Chi ,” the first Marvel superhero starring an Asian protagonist debuted, and so far it is exceeding expectations.
