The much-awaited movie, directed by Daniel Destin Cretton and featuring Simu Liu in the titular role, will be released in English, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada languages.
“Attention all Marvel fans! Gather your tribe and gin formation. A new legend is going to rise! Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ in cinemas on 3rd September,” the studio wrote on its social media handles.
Chinese-Canadian actor Simu Liu will take on the lead role as the martial arts superhero. Set after the events of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ (2019), the movie follows Shang-Chi, who must confront the past he thought he left behind when he is drawn into the web of the mysterious Ten Rings organisation.
The film also stars Awkwafina, Meng’er Zhang, Fala Chen, Florian Munteanu, Benedict Wong and Michelle Yeoh.
Hong Kong star Tony Leung is playing Wenwu, Shang-Chi’s father and the main villain in the movie.
Cretton, known for directing movies such as ‘Just Mercy’, has directed the film from a screenplay he wrote with Dave Callaham and Andrew Lanham.
The film will also mark the return of Sir Ben Kingsley to the MCU. He first appeared in Robert Downey Jr’s ‘Iron Man 3’ where he portrayed the role of Trevor Slattery – an actor posing as the notorious terrorist, the Mandarin.
