One of the greatest parts about Comic-Con is the new announcements for upcoming movies. And as Marvel continues to be one of the largest powerhouses in Hollywood, fans are always eager to hear about what they’re cooking up next.
This happens to be the case even more so now that fans have been more curious since not only Marvel’s Phase 3 was wrapped up, but the Infinity Saga as well. Now in their first wave of Phase 4 announcements, Marvel has made public that we will be getting a movie featuring Shang-Chi titled Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
The film will be a major milestone for Marvel as director Destin Daniel Cretton has announced Shang-Chi will be played by Simu Liu! And, even more excitingly, Marvel will finally introduce the real Mandarin as the film’s antagonist – played by Tony Leung.
