In first of its kind, Marvel Studios introduced a superhero character who is predominantly an Asian character, played by Simu Liu, in Shand Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The latest teaser release has caught everyone's attention by the storm.
Superhero Shang-Chi understands that he must confront the past which he thought he left behind when he gets drawn into the web of the mysterious Ten Rings organization. The cinematography, the plot, the narration is strictly Asian in nature and despite Marvel being one of the frontrunner producers of the show, the Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings does not borrow from the west.

Superhero Shang-Chi will be in another Marvel epic that combines emotional family drama with gravity-defying martial arts action.
