Marvel’s Latest Shang-Chi Clip Is 60 Seconds of Martial Arts Radness

People who’ve already seen Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings have been giving it rave reviews, and each time we see extra of the film it turns into extra obvious why. Case in level: this new clip from the Marvel hero’s bus battle scene.

There’s a lot to like right here, in all probability as a result of this looks like peak Jackie Chan at his easiest. The manner the small confines of the bus dictate a novel battle, the way in which star Simu Liu wields the setting as each a software (a literal launching pad!) and a weapon, the impromptu use of his jacket, the comedy of his taking a break mid-fight to say hello to a fellow passenger… it’s all simply good. It jogs my memory a substantial amount of Chan’s Police Story and Drunken Master II, two of the all-time martial arts film greats—particularly the frantic power of the battle, which strikes at lightning velocity.

Of course, Awkwafina is fabulous in each second she’s in—her expression on the finish is priceless—however all of us knew that forward of time. Somehow, this small clip has gotten me extra excited for the film than the precise trailers have. Weird, however true.

Directed by Just Mercy’s Destin Daniel Cretton, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings stars Liu because the titular hero and Awkwafina as his buddy Katy, in addition to celebrity Tony Leung as Wenwu, Michelle Yeoh as Ying Nan, and Meng’er Zhang as Xialing. Additionally, Benedict Wong, Tim Roth, and Ben Kingley will reprise their roles as Doctor Strange’s Wong, Hulk’s Abomination, and Iron Man 3‘s fake Mandarin Trevor Slattery, respectively. The film premieres on September 3, 2021 (nevertheless it in all probability wouldn’t harm to cross your fingers at this level).
