Marvel Studios are ready to do whatever it takes to promote the Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings release. The promoters have released a shiny new featurette called “Ready to Rise,” featuring director Destin Daniel Cretton, screenwriter Dave Callaham, and the rest of the cast talking about the importance of introducing an Asian superhero and Asian cultural elements into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Of course, the video also shows some fresh footage from the upcoming movie, in addition to many behind-the-scenes clips.
“The story of Shang-Chi was very personal,” Cretton says. “I wanted to look at what a superhero could be, what it would mean to me to be able to add not only one character, Shang-Chi, but to add a whole cornucopia of Asia faces that are representing something I’ve never seen before.”
