‘Shang-Chi’ tells the tale of a man who must confront his past and his ties to the Ten Rings organisation and a world full of assassins and kung fu masters.

The film also stars the who's who of Asian cinema: Tony Leung, Awkwafina, Fala Chen, and fellow Malaysians Ronny Chieng and Michelle Yeoh.

Wenwu is also known as 'the Mandarin' and the 'Ten Rings' organisation have also been briefly mentioned in past MCU films.

Interestingly, fans have claimed that the soundtrack for this film was performed by by K-Pop star, Jackson Wang.

If this is true, he will be the first K-Pop artiste to have made an OST for a Marvel film.
