Marvel has dropped the trailer of its all-new superhero movie this Monday and this time around, it features an Asian actor.

Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings stars Simu Liu, making him the first-ever lead Asian superhero.

In the movie, Shang-Chi prepares to wage war against the Ten Rings organization, which is led by Wenwu(Tony Leung).


After the rolling for the filming wrapped up in October 2020, Liu took to his Facebook and updated a winning status on  Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings.

"Nine months from now we will break records and make history as the first superhero movie to feature an ALL-ASIAN cast that kicks so much ass it's not ever funny. Well - that's a lie, actually, it's quite funny too," Liu wrote in a Facebook post captured by Yahoo. "For all of those who hated us because of the color of our skin, or been made to feel less than because of it; NO MORE. This is OUR movie, and it will be IMPOSSIBLE for Hollywood to ignore us after this."
