My Body Is Ready For Shang-Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings
This MCU title is going to mean so much to so many Asian-American superhero fans!
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is slowly but surely becoming more and more diverse with each passing year, and one of the titles we've been looking forward to the most in this current fourth phase of the popular superhero media franchise is none other than Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings!
Starring Kim's Convenience star Simu Liu alongside The Farewell's Awkwafina and Hollywood icon Michelle Yeoh, Shang-Chi is Marvel's first primarily Asian-led superhero flick, and tells the story of the titular hero "who must confront the past he thought he left behind when he is drawn into the web of the mysterious Ten Rings organization," according to the official description.
And the first teaser trailer was just released earlier today!
