Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings General Discussion and Speculation thread

Spoiler

Omg the dragon looks great

Death Dealer is in the movie. They are getting some deep cut Shang Chi villains in this film.

I wonder if Meng'er Zhang's Xialing is a gender swapped version of Xian Zheng
Xian Zheng (Earth-616)

 

[SirStrangefolk]

It seems the movie will include more actual Chinese mythology than Shang-Chi's original comics did. Besides the dragon, there is "Morris" which appears to be a Dijiang:

The outfit looks a bit boring to be honest. I’m sure it’s a lot easier to cgi but they should have at least popped on a dragon insignia or something. I’m sorry my dear but the costume designer is up for elimination

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Costume didn't do much for me. Very uninspired.

 

[ileg01]

Does somebody know who Meng'er Zhang's Xialing is?

It's good! As a fan of Asian dramas, I am happy that there will be so much Chinese mythology here. One can imagine what unprecedented fees the film will have in China ... And there, I hope, the sequel will not be long in coming!

And yes, the dragon looks amazing on the Lego packaging. So cute !

 

[Albright]

I was watching “Big trouble in little China” yesterday. I wonder if they took a little inspiration for that during the SF scenes

 

[Dr. Evil]

I am curious to see how he will eventually fit into the greater MCU.

Are you calling him fat?

 

[samsnee]

I wonder how they plan on marketing this movie in light of the unfortunate attacks on Asians recently?

 

[Dr. Evil]

I don't see this making it's release date. I sense this one is being pushed back.

They haven't put a trailer out at all, I think if it is ready they will put it out on time. BW is suppose to be out in May so if they don't pump a trailer out by that time it may not get released yet.

Marvel released Black Panther with all that was going on, I think they will do the same with Shang Chi.

It won't.

 

[Albright]

it will

 

[Dark Raven]

Will it?

 

[psylockolussus]

It would.

A trailer should be out by now IMO if its opening in July less than 5 months from now, and especially if Black Widow is keeping its May 2021 date. Also Covid didn't stop WB to release the trailer of The Batman so ahead of time. So Marvel Studios should really start building buzz for this movie outside its fanbase by releasing a teaser trailer. There's not even a teaser poster that they could display in theaters that are now open. Not even official stills that can be spread online.

 

[Web-Head]

 

[psylockolussus]

I'm trying to be optimistic that I would at least to get to see that one in theaters. Unlike with Black Widow. God I wish I live in a country with a faster vaccine rollout.

 

[Albright]

as long as they won‘t shift Eternals again...
don’t care for BW much, but for Shang Chi and Eternals

 

[psylockolussus]

I prefer Black Widow in November and those two in 2022. But at least for the time being they are still scheduled to be released this year. Can't complain once I see them.

 

[Dr. Evil]

As an Asian American, I am excited for Shang Chi, the first Asian Superhero who will actually be in the regular MCU and isn't playing an alien, since I don't think we'll ever see Melinda May and Daisy Johnson (she's half Chinese) and I do think they'll eventually recast Colleen Wing. I am interested in future interactions with other MCU heroes and how he gets recruited to join the next incarnation of the Avengers.

 

[Albright]

err....is there someone around who is really looking forward for a meeting on Zoom?

Btw that: GET VACCINATED is so cynical, if you live in a country, where the government isn’t capable to make it available as they should

 

[legendkillin]

I will see all the movies due to not having movies for so long but they maybe "Oversaturating" with the current schedule.
BW in July, Shang Chi in Sept, Eternals, Nov, and Spidey in Dec. That maybe hard for some BW is a known character but she is dead and this is a prequel followed by 2 unknown franchises. Build up is what made some of the Marvel movies so exciting and now they are going to be 1-2 months. I think they may still re arrange depending on how movies are doing in theater.

 

[Silvermoth]

They should just run around stabbing people with the vaccine during the movie lol
