Xu Wenwu was a warrior from a thousand years ago who had come to possess the legendary ten rings, which made him a powerful immortal. He founded the Ten Rings organization which had been involved in violence through the years, all over the world. In 1976, he met his true love Ying Li in the village of Ta Lo. They had two children, Shang-chi and Xialing, with whom Wenwu had been estranged since they were teens.
What importance "Black Panther" was for the African-American community, "Shang-Chi" would be for the Asian community. All the principal roles are portrayed by Asian actors, with only a few Caucasian actors in more minor roles. Shang-Chi is the first Asian title character in the MCU so it is a big deal that this project saw the light of day. This is probably the first time that most people had heard his name or that of the actor playing him.
Tony Leung, of course, is a legendary name among Asian actors. He played Wenwu more relaxed than would be expected for such an intense anti-hero role, but he cannot be faulted for his acting choices as he still made it work. To remind us that Shang-Chi will eventually be part of the MCU pantheon, Dr. Strange ally and Master of Mystic Arts Wong makes an appearance in this film, more than once. The first one seemed to be whimsical, in a caged fight with the Abomination . But the second one and the one after that , were truly very exciting developments indeed.
maybe for some who has a very low taste on movies. watching Shang-chi is like watching a pinoy themed movie…..Corny
