shang-chi and the legend of the ten rings drawing

Marvel Studios' "Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings" stars Simu Liu as Shang-Chi; he needed to confront the past he believed he left behind when he was drawn right into the web of the strange Ten Rings organization. The film likewise stars Tony Leung as Wenwu, Awkwafina as Shang-Chi's close friend Katy, Michelle Yeoh as Jiang Nan, and Fala Chen, Meng'er Zhang Florian Munteanu, and Ronny Chieng.

 

Facts you might not know about the movie Shang-Chi:

1. Simu Liu, when cast as Shang-Chi, was knowledgeable in taekwondo, gymnastics, and Wing Chun. For his role as the Master of Kung Fu, Liu trained in tai chi, wushu, Muay Thai, pencak silat, Krav Maga, jiu-jitsu, boxing, and street fighting.

2. In the late 1980s Stan Lee had considered a film/TV series about Shang-Chi, and had in mind Brandon Lee, son of martial arts superstar Bruce Lee, for the role. Shang-Chi was visually based on Bruce Lee, so Brandon seemed a fitting choice, but the plan fell through.

3. Tony Chiu-Wai Leung trained for the role of the Mandarin, even though Destin Daniel Cretton said he didn't need to do so since much of the action would involve the rings and computer-generated imagery.

4. When Shang-Chi is asked to fight in the arena shirtless, it is a nod to his debut comic where he would appear shirtless throughout his early comic book run. This was in itself an homage to Bruce Lee movies where Lee often fought shirtless.

5. The symbols in the Ten Rings logo are Chinese characters: "quan" (authority), "li" (power), "zhuang" (strong), "wei" (extraordinary), "jie" (outstanding), "shi" (influential), "hong" (grand), "xiong" (mighty), qiang" (strength) and "wei" (dominant).
