Marvel's new action-packed trailer for Shang-Chi has a surprising cameo
The trailer also gives us more Tony Leung as the Mandarin, and that can only be a good thing.

I don’t think any of us saw that coming.
Marvel Studios have released a new trailer for their action-packed blockbuster Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. This time around, we get a better look at the villainous Mandarin, brutal fight clubs and a massive underwater dragon. It’s a pretty wild trailer.
Watch it below:
Simu Liu stars as Shang-Chi, a skilled martial artist whose father Wenwu (Tony Leung) leads the shadowy Ten Rings organisation. You might remember the Ten Rings as Tony Stark’s captors from 2008’s Iron Man - and surprisingly, that’s not the only Phase 1 connection this movie features.
The trailer's ending casually reveals the return of Abomination from The Incredible Hulk, except the monstrous villain has been given a more comic-accurate redesign. It looks like Abomination is fighting a sorcerer from Doctor Strange, too - and according to reports, that sorcerer is Wong from Doctor Strange. I’m pretty curious why these two are throwing down in a fight club of all places.
The story sees Shang-Chi confront his past at the Ten Rings organisation, and his undoubtedly complex relationship with his father. The film also stars Awkwafina as Shang-Chi’s friend Katy and Michelle Yeoh as Jiang Nan, as well as Fala Chen, Meng’er Zhang, Florian Munteanu and Ronny Chieng. An unknown actor has also been cast as Death Dealer, a warrior from the Ten Rings organisation and former mentor of Shang-Chi in the comics.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, and hits theaters on 3 September, 2021.
