Marvel Studios officially announced the development of the Shang-Chi film, marking the introduction of the character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Simu Liu was cast as the lead character Shang-Chi, becoming the first Asian lead superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Filming was temporarily halted due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, affecting the production schedule.
The film had its theatrical release, introducing audiences worldwide to Marvel's first Asian lead superhero movie.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
