Marvel Studios' Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings held its Hollywood premiere at Tinsel Town's El Capitan Theater on Monday night and of course, as always, Marvel Studios went and delivered what seems to be phase 4's best movie so far.
Even though the movie will be released worldwide in two weeks, people all over the world can't stop talking about it.
“Shang-Chi is a movie that ended up on a ‘Wouldn't It Be Great' list where ‘Wouldn't it be great if we could do this as a movie,' probably twenty years ago,” Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige previously told Rotten Tomatoes. “It's a great story of a young man that realizes his father is essentially one of the world's greatest supervillains and one of the world's greatest criminals. How do you process that? And how do you deal with that as a child? How do you evolve beyond that?”

Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings is scheduled to be released in the United States on September 3, 2021. It will have a 45-day exclusive theatrical release, rather than being released simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access like Black Widow.
The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton from a screenplay he wrote with Dave Callaham, and stars Simu Liu as Shang-Chi alongside Awkwafina, Meng'er Zhang, Fala Chen, Florian Munteanu, Benedict Wong, Michelle Yeoh, and Tony Leung. The film is produced by Kevin Feige and Jonathan Schwartz, with Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, and Charles Newirth serving as executive producers.
