Marvel reveals a new star! 

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

stars Simu Liu, a Canadian actor as good at intimate scenes as he is at martial arts.

This is the great discovery of the film by Daniel Destin Creton.

At 32, Simu Liu plays an unwilling hero who discovers his past at the heart of Chinese legends in this action-packed, twist-filled film, one of the most successful produced by Marvel since

Black Panther

.

Chinese cinema legends

The Shang-Chi comics that appeared in the 1970s, the actor only discovered them when he was offered the film.

"And we immediately tried to modernize the characters," Simu Liu confides to 

20 Minutes

.

Because the goal was for Shang Chi to break cinema stereotypes about Asian culture.

"

Chinese cinema legends like Tony Leung (seen in particular in

In the Mood For Love

by Wong Kar-Wai) and Michelle Yeoh (heroine

of

Ang Lee's

Tiger and Dragon

) give him the answer.

As well as stuntmen from China.

“It was a challenge but also very exciting to work with people who worked with Jackie Chan,” insists Simu Liu.

The actor is absolutely amazing in the fighting scenes.

On a scaffolding dominating a building or in a bus launched at full speed, it defies the laws of gravity.

Strongly the continuation

We focus on his character first faced with a painful past that he will have to face before becoming a real (super) hero.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

takes viewers into a festival of magical special effects and beautiful family feelings.

And we dream of Shang-Chi, through Simu Liu, quickly joining the Avengers team ...
