One thing that unites Shang-Chi with the other Marvel movies, is its scope. Shang-Chi's origin story is not simple. This action-packed set of scenes spans the globe and not only combines all types of martial arts but also features incredible stunt and effects. You can see all that and more in two new videos. You'll be pumped up for the release of the film in a couple of weeks with a behind-the scenes look at how the action scenes are put together. Here's the first.
You can see how huge some action scenes can be. Proper Michael Bay shit. The featurette does not reveal that most of the scenes it covers are from the first half. There's more to it than that. This trailer shows quite a bit. It may be a bit too much.
Yes, the trailer contains a lot of stuff from the third Act of the film. This should be obvious. Shang-Chi does not just open the film in his superhero costume or with a dragon. It is the things that start the movie, such as his friendship with Katy, that make it so complete.
Shang-Chi is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. The Legend of the Ten Rings stars Simu Liu and Awkwafina. It opens September 3.
