Marvel Studios has revealed the first trailer and a poster for ‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ on the occasion of the film's leading star Simu Liu birthday. The film will hit the theaters on September 3.
“It’s time for you to take your place,” a voice says in the brand new teaser trailer for Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. But Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) thought he left his past behind, only to discover he’s been drawn into the web of the mysterious Ten Rings organization. Find a brand new look at the movie in the video above!
The film also stars Tony Leung as Wenwu, Awkwafina as Shang-Chi’s friend Katy, and Michelle Yeoh as Jiang Nan, as well as Fala Chen, Meng’er Zhang, Florian Munteanu, and Ronny Chieng.
Simu Liu shared a first look at the brand new poster for the movie across his social channels as a special birthday gift. "Whoever said that you could only RECEIVE presents on your birthday? This is your VERY FIRST LOOK at the teaser poster for Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings!" said Liu.

He continued, "You know... I never saw myself as the hero of my own story growing up. I struggled to find any Asian characters onscreen, and there were fewer still that made me feel truly proud of my heritage. It's absolutely insane to think that in just over four months, we will have a @MarvelStudios movie featuring an almost ENTIRELY Asian cast, each full of rich nuance and dimensionality."
"Shang Chi is more than just a movie - it is a celebration of our culture and a rallying cry for the forgotten, the unseen, and the overlooked. It is a reminder to take up space, to stand tall, and to be unapologetically ourselves."
Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and produced by Kevin Feige and Jonathan Schwartz, with Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, and Charles Newirth serving as executive producers. David Callaham & Destin Daniel Cretton & Andrew Lanham wrote the screenplay for the film, and experience it in theaters on September 3, 2021.
