Not long ago, Marvel Studios released an awesome full trailer for its martial arts action-adventure film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. That trailer was filled with all kinds of exciting footage and one of the big fan freak-out moments was seeing Abomination fighting a sorcerer.
Screen Crush has since released a video breakdown of the trailer that points out all of the Easter eggs in the movie and also explains the Abomination and sorcerer fight scene. The video came with the following note:
The new trailer for Shang Chi: Legend of the Ten Rings is here! We get a lot more plot details about the Mandarin, the Ten Rings organization (and the literal ten rings, a frickin’ DRAGON and the return of the Abomination! In this video we break down all of the Easter Eggs and connections to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and theorize about what all this is leading to.
It’s looking more and more like this is leading to the MCU’s Thunderbolts, with US Agent, Baron Zemo, Emil Blonsky and more on the team.
The film was directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Short Term 12, The Glass Castle) from a script written by Dave Callaham (Wonder Woman 1984, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2). It stars Sam Liu, who seems great in the role. He’s joined by Awkwafina as Katy and Tony Leung as Wenwu. Michelle Yeoh is also in the film.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is set for release on September 3rd.
