The internet was buzzing yesterday after Marvel Studios surprised star Simu Liu on his birthday by dropping the debut trailer for September’s
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Naturally, it didn’t take long for people to start digging through the actor’s social media history to try and have him canceled for admitting a decade ago that he isn’t a fan of Nicki Minaj’s music, which is a thing that actually happened less than 24 hours ago.
Shang-Chi were hugely enthusiastic. The visuals and action sequences promise something different to what we’ve become used to seeing from the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the years, even if the broad strokes of the narrative are firmly on familiar ground by having a title hero reconcile with his troubled past to embrace his destiny in the present.
