Shang-Chi has gotten the first trailer. On Monday, Marvel unveiled a two-minute teaser trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the next Marvel Cinematic Universe movie after the upcoming Scarlett Johansson-led Black Widow. The first Shang-Chi trailer introduces the titular protagonist (Simu Liu), his father Wenwu (Tony Leung) who is the leader of the Ten Rings, and his best friend Katy (Awkwafina). It also reveals the myriad settings for Marvel's first Asian superhero movie, ranging from futuristic blades to mythological battles that involve giant bears. In India, Shang-Chi will release in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. We see Shang-Chi train by himself as the Shang-Chi teaser trailer begins, before we see him as a valet at an American hotel. “I gave you ten years to live your life,” Wenwu says in voice-over, addressing his son. “Where did that get you?” Shang-Chi is seen leading a normal life in America, going to karaoke, partying with Katy, and clicking selfies. The Shang-Chi trailer gives us a glimpse of his childhood, which involved rigorous training — something it seemed the adult Shang-Chi was interested.
