It starts with the presence of director Destin Daniel Cretton, who notably helmed the acclaimed drama Short Term 12, but anticipation gets even more intense when you acknowledge who is joining Simu Liu in the cast.
Tony Leung will be playing legendary crime figure The Mandarin (not to be confused with Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery from Iron Man 3), and Awkwafina has also signed on for an undisclosed part.
Set to be released on February 12, 2021, Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings likely won’t be going into production until the first quarter of next year – but it’s already developing as an incredibly exciting project for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
