According to reports, Marvel’s Shang-Chi movie chose actress Mullan as mother

According to reports, Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings include Rosalind Chao in the cast. Chao will be seen next in Disney’s live-action, Mulan.

The cast of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and Legend of the Ten Rings continues to develop, and actress Rosalind Chao will join the ensemble. Chao recently appeared in the Netflix movie The Laundromat and will later be seen in the live-action Mulan, where he will play Mulan’s mother, Hua Li.

The cast of Shang-Chi already includes the new protagonist Simu Liu and Tony Leung as the villain of the film, The Mandarin. Awkwafina will also appear in the movie, although her role has not been revealed. Earlier this week, news emerged that Michelle Yeoh would also join the cast, although her character, like Akwafina’s, has not been revealed. The launch of Shang-Chi is scheduled for February 12, 2021.

Is there any details regarding the plot?

The plot details are kept secret, as Marvel focuses on promoting its 2020 films, such as Black Widow and Eternals. There is a possibility that more information will be revealed as soon as production begins. Shang-Chi would initially start filming last fall, but it was eventually rejected. However, Akwavafina recently travelled to Australia, where Shang-chi is believed to be shooting, suggesting that production could start soon. A sudden increase in the distribution of news also supports this.

According to The Illuminati, Chao is the last to join the cast. Her character is only described as “mother”, and reports suggest she will be the mother of Akwafina’s character. The initial synopsis of the film indicates that Shang-chi’s relationship with his father would play an essential role in the plot, which would coincide with the comics. If that is the case, and Chao is playing the role of Aquafina’s mother, then Shang-Chi could become a reasonably familiar movie.

Shang-Chi will be the first MCU film

Shang-Chi will be the first MCU film directed with Asian, with a Marvel boss, Kevin Feige, who says “98% Asian.” This is an essential step for Marvel, which previously faced some controversy over the distribution of white actors in traditionally Asian roles. As viewers continue to express their desire for diverse stories, Marvel begins to catch up with the most prominent colour characters and women-led projects. Shang-Chi is one of the few plans in phase four of the MCU that looks more diverse than before.

It’s hard to say if Shang-Chi will be good with so little information currently known. Still, it will certainly be interesting to see how Destin director Daniel Cretton and his team introduce the newest MCU hero. Marvel has a good track record of bringing relatively unknown comic book characters to the big screen, and Shang-Chi hopes it’s no exception. Fans can’t wait to hear more about the movie, and hopefully, it won’t be long until things unfold.
