Simu Liuis putting his ripped body on display in the newest trailer forShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
“What happened to your shirt?” asks his friend Katy (Awkwafina), to which Shang-Chi can only shrug in response.
After the protagonist says, “All I ever wanted was a normal life,” we are treated to scenes that show him getting anything but, from gravity-defying chases through public transit to Shang-Chi telling his father Wenwu/The Mandarin (Tony Leung), “I’m nothing like you.”
“You can’t outrun your destiny,” Wenwu tells him later before Shang-Chi replies, “I’m not afraid of you” and the two prepare for battle, withShang-Chi brandishing the Ten Rings.
