The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton from a screenplay by David Callaham. It stars Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, alongside Tony Leung, Awkwafina, Meng’er Zhang, Michelle Yeoh, Ronny Chieng, Fala Chen, and Florian Munteanu. The film is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 9, 2021, as part of Phase Four of the MCU. A film based on the character has been in development since 2001, but was put on hold in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the film, Shang-chi is forced to confront his past after he is drawn into the Ten Rings organization that appears throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It will be Marvel’s first film with an Asian lead and is intended to be the 25th film in the Marvel Universe. The movie will be released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures in the U.S. and the UK in the summer of 2021, with a UK release in the fall. It is set to be distributed by Disney’s Walt Disney Home Entertainment, which also co-produced the film with Marvel Studios, and by Paramount Pictures, which distributed the first two Marvel films.
It was announced that the film’s title and primary cast were announced that July, revealing thefilm’s connection to the Mandarin and his Ten Rings group that appears in the comic book series. In September 2005, Marvel chairman and CEO Avi Arad announced Shang- Chi as one of ten properties being developed as films by the newly formed studio Marvel Studios. Marvel offered to create a teaser featuring the Mandarin for the Chinese market that would be featured at the end of The Avengers, but DMG balked at the offer, since the Mandarin’s negative stereotypical portrayal in the comics could potentially prevent the film from releasing in China and risk shutting down DMG as a company. According to Margaret Loesch, former president and CEO of Marvel Productions, Stan Lee discussed a potential Shang- chi film or television series with actor Brandon Lee and his mother Linda Lee during the 1980s.
