Marvel Studios is adapting their 1970s circa martial arts hero Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu in a new film written by Dave Callaham and to be helmed by Destin Darrell Cretton.
Today at San Diego Comic Con, it was announced that newcomer Canadian-Chinese actor Simu Liu (above) will play Shang-Chi. Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Chiu-Wai will be making his Hollywood debut as The Mandarin, who is expected to be Shang-Chi's dad rather than Fu Manchu in the comics. Awkwafina has also been cast in the film.
Release date set for Feb. 6, 2021.
