Get To Know The Character Of Shang-Chi, Marvel's New Superhero

JAKARTA - Monday, April 19, Marvel released the first teaser for the film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Of course, this news is a surprise because Marvel will debut their first Asian superhero.

Through this short video, fans can see Simu Liu and Tony Leung's actions. There are not a few questions about what Marvel will present through this Asian superhero.

Shang-Chi mastered Chinese martial arts and was skilled at wielding various types of swords. He is called one of the best martial artists.

His strength rests not only on martial arts but also on his ability to control himself. Due to the practice of meditation, Shang-Chi can slow down the rate at which toxins spread in their bloodstream and slow down bleeding.

According to the comics, Shang-Chi was formed to become a kung fu who was strong and could not be killed. His father, Fu Manchu, wanted Shang-Chi like that but Shang-Chi managed to get out of the evil circle.

Launching Vanity Fair, 10 rings or 10 rings are described as properties worn by the enemy of Shang-Chi, Mandarin. But in Iron Man, Ten Rings is the name of a terrorist group from the Middle East who kidnapped Tony Stark in Afghanistan.

As a result fans suspect Iron Man and Shang-Chi will have a relationship. The group's logo has similarities to the logo in the film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

The Marvel universe, otherwise known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is entering its fourth phase. There are rumors that Shang-Chi is the next Black Panther.

Marvel also began to develop stories by looking for stories related to Asian culture. Apart from Shang-Chi, there is the film The Eternals which collaborates with several Asian-blooded actors and actresses.

Marvel boss Kevin Feige expressed his desire to present a superhero with a new color, not just a white man.

Shang-Chi was first present in the comic Special Marvel Edition no. 15 in 1973 by Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin.

For the film, Simu Liu will play Shang-Chi while Tony Leung will be Fu Manchu. In the trailer, actress Awkwafina is also seen appearing in this film.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will be one of the fourth phase of the MCU series. This film will air from 3 September.
