New ‘Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings’ Clip Puts Martial Arts Front And Center By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 16, 2021 8:49 am EST Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has a lot to live up to. As comic readers know, Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) is a skilled martial artist, on par with (or even better than) the absolute best in the Marvel world. So far, we’ve received brief teases and glimpses of the superhero’s fighting prowess in this cinematic adaptation of the character, but a new clip puts the focus entirely on his ability to stave off multiple enemies at once in the most precarious of spots … and with his only “weapons” being his hands and feet....
