Marvel Studios’ San Diego Comic-Con panel revealed two brand-new Avengers movies on Saturday. One of them is the Avengers: Secret Wars, which will wrap Phase 6 of the MCU in November 2025. ,Inspired by the iconic comic book series, the movie is expected to feature a multiversal battle between variants of fan-favorite heroes and villains. Secret Wars comic is written by Jim Shooter with art by Mike Zeck and Bob Layton. It ran for 12 issues between 1984 and 1985. The storyline of the comic is of a villain called The Beyonder, who kidnaps multiple heroes and villains, taking them to a planet called Battleworld. There, Marvel’s enhanced characters fight each other for the Beyonder’s amusement. Beyonder wants to find out who’s the most powerful Marvel character. Also Read | Avengers: Secret Wars to close Phase 6 of MCU in 2025, says Fiege at SDCC,The MCU version of the Secret Wars will not feature the Beyonder. Instead, it is believed that Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conquerer will be the mastermind behind the crossover event. This is because Avengers: Secret Wars is one of two Avengers movies set to release in the same year, following Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. ‘Avengers: The Kang Dynasty’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ are set to release a mere six months apart in 2025 — on May 2 and November 7, respectively. The iconic Russo Brothers credited for Infinity War and Endgame, will not be directing either of the two new movies including The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars, Deadline reported.

'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' is reigning the box office, following a collection of $35.8 million in ticket sales in its second weekend, according to studio estimates on Sunday. Overtaking “Black Widow” to log in the best second-weekend gross of any film during the pandemic, it has been performing brilliantly. ,“Shang-Chi is playing exclusively in theaters, and its second-week drop, 53%, was relatively modest. In two weeks of release, it has grossed $247.6 million globally. At its current pace, “Shang-Chi,” the first Marvel movie to star an Asian superhero (played by Simu Liu), may become the top summer release at the North American box office. Globally, its path is less certain. “Shang-Chi” currently doesn't have a release date in China. Worldwide, Universal's “Fast and Furious sequel “F9” has fared better than any other pandemic release with more than $714 million in ticket sales. ,Also Read | Shang-Chi movie review: Marvel universe's next superhero takes us on a joy ride,The four-day Labor Day weekend brought hopes for the industry amid the pandemic in the US with a 90$ million opening for “Shang-Chi”. Disney announced, on Friday, that all of its remaining 2021 films will be released exclusively in theaters, and will not be put up for streaming on Disney+ at the same time. ,Warner Bros' “Malignant” had been the only one giving a tough competition to “Shang-Chi. It debuted with $5.6 million. Overseas, it added $6.3 million from 69 markets. Like all Warner Bros. releases this year, “Malignant” was also released on HBO Max for subscribers. The studio has said it will return to debuting films with an exclusive theatrical window next year. ,The Ryan Reynolds action comedy “Free Guy,” from Disney's 20th Century Studios, collected $5.8 million in the fifth week of its release. This is how it brought its domestic tally to $101.5 million and grossed $276 million worldwide. ,That total was good enough for the best second-weekend gross of any film during the pandemic, edging out the previous Marvel movie, “Black Widow.” This year, relatively few films have held well in theaters either because they've been streaming simultaneously at home or because moviegoers' attention fades. “Shang-Chi is playing exclusively in theaters, and its second-week drop, 53%, was relatively modest.

Chinese-born Canadian actor Simu Liu Silenced his critics once and for all. The actor’s first Marvel film released during the Labor day weekend and left trolls and critics speechless with its success. ,Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings released theatrically on September 3, earning $140 million worldwide in the opening weekend. Interestingly, it is the first ever movie in the MCU headlined by an Asian. ,Me laughing at the people who thought we'd flop, wrote the 32-year-old actor, taking to Twitter to share an iStock photo of himself along with a photo of himself, which was clicked years ago when Liu used to work as a model for iStock. Also Read | 'Shang-Chi' star Tony Leung reveals his favourite Marvel characters,iStock's official Twitter account responded to the actor's tweet and commented, We always believed in you, @simuliu. And if being a superhero doesn't work out, our door is always open. However, the comment didn’t sit really well with Simu and he responded, Is the door open to share in the hundreds of thousands of $$ you made off those photos cause I was paid a hundred bucks. Of course, this caused a comment riot as social media users were left in splits. Some, however, pointed out his arrogance and noted that the film hasn’t reached the break-even mark yet. ,Dude, I have seen pudding with thicker skin than you, the user wrote. Yes, your movie broke the Labor day record for release and that is something to celebrate, but the movie needs more money before it breaks even. Chill out, stop attacking Youtubers and get some damn perspective. Another user commented, Budget of $150 million, and it made $140 million worldwide so far. so yeah, it needs a couple more days to break even. Simu Liu also took a dig at all those Youtubers who predicted that Marvel’s first film with an Asia lead will definitely flop. He took to Instagram to share a collage of such thumbnails on his Instagram story.

Simu Liu takes dig at trolls after success of 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings'

SimuLiu

On what's traditionally one of the sleepiest weekends at the movies, the Marvel film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings smashed the record for Labor Day openings with an estimated $71.4 million in ticket sales, giving a box office reeling from the recent coronavirus surge a huge lift heading into the fall season. ,The Friday-to-Sunday gross for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Marvel's first film led by an Asian superhero, ranks as one of the best debuts of the pandemic, trailing only the previous Marvel film, Black Widow ($80.3 million in July). Overseas, it pulled in $56.2 million for a global three-day haul of $127.6 million. Disney anticipates Shang Chi, made for about $150 million, will add $12.1 million domestically on Monday. Also read: 'Shang-Chi' star Tony Leung reveals his favourite Marvel characters,The Walt Disney Co. opted to release Shang-Chi only in theaters where it will have an exclusive 45-day run. Some of the studio's releases this year, including Black Widow, have premiered day-and-date in theaters and on Disney+ for $30. ,The strong opening of Shang-Chi — forecasts had been closer to $50 million — was a major relief for Hollywood, which had seen jittery releases the last few weeks during rising COVID-19 cases driven by the delta variant. Several upcoming films have recently been postponed out of the fall, including Paramount Pictures' Top Gun: Maverick, Jackass Forever and Clifford the Big Red Dog. Disney's weekend, though, should lend confidence to upcoming big-budget releases such as the James Bond film No Time to Die from MGM and United Artists Releasing, and Sony Pictures' Venom: Let There Be Carnage. ,'Shang-Chi' is the ultimate confidence-builder for the theatrical movie industry, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for data firm Comscore. This was a very important film. This was the first Marvel movie that's opened exclusively theatrically since 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' in July 2019. 'Shang-Chi' is a real testament of the power of a theatrical-first strategy to drive huge numbers of moviegoers to the multiplex. Perhaps nobody was celebrating Sunday more than theater owners. Exhibitors have argued day-and-date releases significantly cannibalize ticket sales. Warner Bros. which is putting all of its 2021 releases simultaneously on HBO Max, has vowed to end the practice next year. ,Adding to that argument is the continuing strong performance of Free Guy, from Disney's 20th Century Studios. Free Guy, contractually obligated to be released only in theaters, has grossed $239.2 million globally. Without an in-home option, the Ryan Reynolds film has held especially strongly; it added $8.7 million in North America over the weekend, good for third place. In China, Free Guy has made $57 million in less than two weeks. (Shang-Chi doesn't yet have a China release date.),Last week's top film, the Universal horror remake Candyman, slid to second place with $10.5 million. After the holiday weekend, Universal pegs its two-week total at $41.9 million. ,Still, you could also read a case for streaming in Disney's figures Sunday. Shang-Chi, the studio noted, premiered roughly similarly to Black Widow, which debuted with about $160 million globally, but took in an additional $60 million on Disney+ Premier Access. Black Widow, a much more well-known property, launched before the delta variant was widespread in North America. Its release prompted a lawsuit from star Scarlett Johansson, who argued the day-and-date approach breached her contract and deprived her of potential earnings. Disney has said the release complied with Johansson's contract and called the suit without merit. Disney has so far declined to telegraph its future theatrical intentions, including for its next Marvel movie, Eternals (due out Nov. 5). Bob Chapek, Disney's chief executive, earlier called the theatrical release of Shang-Chi an interesting experiment — a label that Canadian actor Simu Liu, who plays Shang-Chi took exception with. We are not an experiment, Liu wrote on Twitter. We are the underdog; the underestimated. We are the ceiling-breakers. We are the celebration of culture and joy that will persevere after an embattled year. At the recent exhibitor convention CinemaCon, where some studios pledged faith in the big screen, Disney didn't make a presentation and instead simply screened Shang-Chi. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film is based on a relatively little-known comic and features a largely Asian or Asian American cast, including Tony Leung, Awkwafina, and Michelle Yeoh. Audiences and critics have heartily endorsed it. It has a 92% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and an A CinemaScore from moviegoers. ,The success of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings came on a typically quiet weekend for Hollywood — one that would never normally feature the premiere of a new Marvel movie. The previous record over Labor Day weekend was $30.6 million for 2007's Halloween. But the pandemic has upended once-orderly release schedules. Shang-Chi drove moviegoing overall not to just radically higher levels than the pandemic-marred Labor Day weekend last year, but far above attendance in 2019.

Hong Kong star Tony Leung, who is winning hearts with the portrayal of Wenwu in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, said in a recent interview that starring in a superhero movie was something that he always wanted to do. He also revealed that he is a fan of classic Marvel characters Iron Man and Deadpool. ,I watch a lot of Marvel movies, and I have my favourite characters too. Deadpool and Iron Man are my favourite characters. I didn’t expect that I would have a chance to be a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Leung said in a transcript shared with PTI by Marvel Studios. The 59-year-old actor is immensely popular for his many collaborations with filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai that gave the world cinematic gems such as Chungking Express, Happy Together, In the Mood for Love and 2046. Shang-Chi, which is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and features Chinese-Canadian star Simu Liu as Marvel's first Asian superhero, is set after the events of 'Avengers: Endgame'. It follows Shang-Chi who is drawn into the clandestine Ten Rings organisation, and is forced to confront the past he thought he left behind. Leung revealed it was Cretton who persuaded him to come aboard the film. He added he felt he could trust the director. I had a phone meeting with him and, of course, he couldn’t tell me much about the story at that time, so I had only little hints about my character and the story. But I felt very good talking to him, and I thought I could trust him, he said. ,Also Read: Feels like a moment in culture: 'Shang-Chi' star Simu Liu on playing Marvel's first Asian superhero,On the film's set in Sydney, Australia, Leung said that the filmmaker made him feel very relaxed and worry free. He used to encourage me a lot after a take. He would say that my performance was perfect, or so good. It really made me build up a lot of confidence, especially at the beginning of shooting. Sometimes he would give me some adjustments, but I liked that very much as well. It was really nice working with him, he added. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which also stars Meng'er Zhang, Fala Chen, Florian Munteanu and Benedict Wong, released in India on Friday.

Marvel Studios made a comeback in India and how! After the success of Spider-Man: Far From Home, another film was highly anticipated by the fans. Came Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings with a bang and took over box office like no one’s business. The film hit the theatres on Friday, September 3, and managed to collect Rs 3.25 crore net on its first day despite theatres in many places being shut. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and said, “#Marvel brings cheer to the #Indian #BO, yet again… #ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings - the new superhero film - takes a heroic start… Emerges first choice of moviegoers in #India… Biz expected to grow over weekend… Fri ₹3.25 cr Nett. #India biz. All versions. #ShangChi.” ,It is now the second big film in India to get a theatrical release after Akshay Kumar’s Bottom, since the end of the second wave of the COVID-19 outbreak. Bell Bottom, on the other hand, opened to a box office collection of Rs 2.75 crore. ,Also Read | South Korean actor Park Seo Joon officially joins cast of 'The Marvels',Simultaneously, the studio launched Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow in limited theatres in the US put up on Disney+ Hotstar for streaming in India. The Guardian reviewed the film and wrote, “What’s more telling than where this film fits within the Marvel universe (it’s an outlier, and all the better for it) is how elegantly it slots into the wuxia fantasy-infused Chinese martial arts tradition. Both in casting (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’s Michelle Yeoh, as serene and deadly as ever, and Hero’s Tony Leung take key roles) and in set pieces (there’s a nod to the iconic bamboo forest sequence in House of Flying Daggers), the film takes its cues from the martial arts epics of the early 2000s. Paying homage without becoming derivative is a difficult balance, but the film succeeds,” while Hindustan Times' review called the film as ‘Marvel’s best solo film since Black Panther.’ ,The film stars Simu Liu in the titular role along with the cast, including Awkwafina, Tony Leung, Michelle Yeoh, Fala Chen, Meng’er Zhang, Florian Munteanu and Ronny Chieng.

Marvel’s first ever film to be headlined by an Asian, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, is out in theatres. Though it’s a bummer, the film is not going to be streamed on Disney Plus anytime soon. While it was highly anticipated, the outbreak of the Delta variant has people hesitant and nervous about heading to theatres. Here’s everything about the film and how you can watch it. ,Who is Shang-Chi?,Shang-Chi first appeared in comics in 1973. Although born a supervillain Fu Manchu, he later decided not to follow in the footsteps of his father and opposed his way. A master of unarmed combat, he joined Avengers in 2013. ,Not your regular superhero with traditional superpowers, he had the knack for mastering forms of combat. He did gain the power to replicate himself later though. ,Also Read | South Korean actor Park Seo Joon officially joins cast of 'The Marvels',The film features Chinese-American actor Simu Liu as Shang-chi and Tony Leung Chiu-wai as Wenwu/The Mandarin, Shang-Chi's father. It is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, while David Callaham is the screenwriter. ,Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings release on Friday, September 3 and is running in theatres currently. The film will continue exclusively for 45 days. It is expected to hit Disney Plus in mid-October for streaming. ,Reviews and reactions,Shang-Chi comes with Marvel strengths and weaknesses while also feeling like something winningly new,” said CNET film critic Richard Trenholm,He added that the film is visually and narratively distinct from the rest of the franchise. Shang-Chi is Marvel's first Asian lead, and the style of the film draws on the rich history of Asian cinema, from martial arts movies to gangster films to romance, and in particular the lush visual and emotional style of wuxia epics. CNET's Joan E. Solsman reviewed the film positively and said Built on a framework telling the story of one family's reckoning with grief, it layers on action and humour while playfully blending genres, for the best kind of summer popcorn flick.

Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: Where and how to watch

New York, NY, USA

If the Marvel Cinematic Universe has taught us anything it's that heroes arise from unexpected places. For their 25th film entry, that place is valet parking. The titular hero of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is laying low living on tips as a hotel parking attendant in present-day San Francisco when we meet him as an adult. He doesn't even fly to work; he takes the bus. But by the time the film is over, he's a glorious addition to the Marvel universe, a tried and dependable warrior whose valor has been tested in more than one dimension and joined by a predominantly Asian cast. And forget about the bus — now he rides dragons. Simu Liu plays our hero with Spider-Man's aw-shucks sweetness but a lethality when it comes to his fists. It turns out that Shang-Chi has run away from his domineering father, who's a total bummer: He's over 1,000 years old, obsessed with controlling the universe and in possession of 10 magical rings that give him superhuman powers. Shang-Chi has fled rather than become the cold-hearted assassin his dad wants and that's why he's parking cars. That is, until dad (Tony Leung) wants the family back for a mission to rescue his dead wife, testing the bounds of reality and credibility and building into a Shakespearian show-down. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings might have ridden this grim coming-of-age backstory tale like something from DC, but that's not what Marvel does best and it finds its lightness in Awkwafina and later by leaning on the Disney brand for some mind-blowing computer creatures and a surreal realm. Awkwafina plays Shang-Chi's platonic friend Katy as a comic tether to reality, often commenting on the madness. I'm pretty confused right now, she'll say after a stone dragon vomits a map in water (seriously). Later, as she and our hero hear a terrible sound, she says: You're going toward that noise? She mocks our hero's Anglicized name change to Shaun and what she does with the Eagles' Hotel California is glorious. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film is somewhat overstuffed and lumpy in parts and the last surreal third is poorly knitted into the rest of the narrative, but it's all impossible to predict and you'll leave the theater satisfied, if maybe a bit confused at parts. It sometimes feels like the filmmakers are throwing everything they have at the screen: An adorable chicken-pig with no face called Morris, a hitman with a machete for an arm, the return of Trevor Slattery to the Marvel universe, a plot detour to an underground fight ring, forests that move thrillingly and two awesome fight scenes on a skyscraper's scaffolding and a city bus. The screenplay — by Cretton, David Callaham and Andrew Lanham — knows exactly when the viewer is tiring and adds an ounce of lunacy, whether it's a guy live-blogging the fight on the bus or a flight attendant being surreal. There are nods to Avatar and martial arts tangoes worthy of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, even sucking in one of that film's stars, Michelle Yeoh. But the critical role of the father, Xu Wenwu, is murky, mercurial and unsatisfying. Beneath the beauty and the violence is a story about the ties between siblings, fatherly expectations, the modern world's demands versus traditions and our own legacies. Plus, did we mention, there's an adorable chicken-pig with no face called Morris?,Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, a Marvel Studios release, is rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, and language. Three stars out of four.

Shang-Chi movie review: Marvel universe's next superhero takes us on a joy ride

Awkwafina

Chinese-Canadian star Simu Liu hopes his work in Shang-Chi is successful in reaching to the audience that has rarely found aspirational, heroic representation on screen. The actor believes headlining a Marvel film as the first Asian to do so comes with huge responsibility.,Liu has headlined Marvel Studios' martial arts superhero film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, scheduled to be released in the country on September 3.,Also Read | 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' leaked trailer becomes the new meme-theme,In an interview with PTI, the 32-year-old actor said he believes it is not just a role, rather it comes with the responsibility of representation.,It feels like an incredible honour, like we are giving the world something that I never had as a kid, which is the ability to see myself reflected on screen, in a meaningful, aspirational, heroic way. There is a certain responsibility that comes with that as well.,I don't want to call it pressure, but there is a sense that this is more than just a role that you take, go to work, say lines and go home. This is a moment in culture, a moment in history and hopefully, it will be followed by many more just like it. ,Bagging the role is a dream come true for the for the China-born actor, who migrated to Canada at the age of five. However, as much as he tries not to stress out, there are times when he feels anxious people's expectations from him.,Also Read | Wait for 2021 to be Marvel-ous with these upcoming MCU movies and series,Sometimes it gives me a little bit of anxiety knowing that there is this kind of stuff resting on my shoulders. Other times, it feels incredibly empowering because I would have given anything to have had somebody, when I was younger, to look up to and show me what was possible.,My hope is that it doesn't matter if you are six years old or 16 or 26... 'Shang-Chi' will be a movie that people will be able to watch and understand that anything is possible for them, he said.,Directed by Daniel Destin Cretton, the film is set after the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019) and follows Shang-Chi who is drawn into the clandestine Ten Rings organisation, and is forced to confront the past he thought he left behind.,In a crucial scene in the superhero movie, which will be released in India in English, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada, Liu's character is told that the trajectory of his life is just about to change.,Recently, I walked the red carpet at Hollywood boulevard. As we premiered the movie to the world, it really just felt like, 'Oh my goodness, life is never going to be the same after this moment.' Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings also stars Awkwafina, Meng'er Zhang, Fala Chen, Florian Munteanu, Benedict Wong and Michelle Yeoh.
