Marvel Studios‘ Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has long last received its Hollywood premiere. Those in attendance at the El Capitan Theater earlier this week came out of the film with generally positive reviews.
Unfortunately, the public still needs to wait a couple more weeks before they can see the film in theaters. Recently Marvel released a new short trailer to tease the film and announce its pre-order ticket sales. Marvel’s head honcho Kevin Feige previously spoke to Rotten Tomatoes and said, “Shang-Chi is a movie that ended up on a ‘Wouldn’t It Be Great’ list where ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we could do this as a movie,’ probably twenty years ago. It’s a great story of a young man that realizes his father is essentially one of the world’s greatest supervillains and one of the world’s greatest criminals. How do you process that? And how do you deal with that as a child? How do you evolve beyond that?”
With overwhelmingly positive reactions to the film, the Shang-Chi is expected to be a fan favorite in the MCU. It also appears that fans are reminded to stay until after the credits for a surprise clip from Deadpool. Take a look below at some of the reactions.
#ShangChi is awesome. This movie hits all that Marvel does well (pacing, humor, character) and adds action like we’ve never seen from the MCU before! ????
Lots of people are about to have a new favorite Marvel hero.
Darker than expected. Loads of fun. Integral to MCU Phase 4!? pic.twitter.com/YI3jkwLuq6

#ShangChi was a blast! Actually, Marvel’s first true “family movie” that has a lot of heart. Loads of fun, great fight choreography, & likeable characters galore!

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings earns the title of the best superhero film of 2021 so far. The action scenes are simply spectacular, especially the train & skyscraper scene. Best martial arts I’ve seen in a long time. Simu Liu & Awkwafina are terrific. #ShangChi pic.twitter.com/M0EEMJqKu3
