Disney has released a new IMAX poster forShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringsfeaturing the titular hero (Simu Liu), the overwhelming menace of the Mandarin (Tony Leung Chiu-wai), and dragons! For many years Marvel tried to solve all its issues with science, but the newShang-Chiposter is here to remind us that the MCU will keep embracing mysticism as it moves forward — which is great news for fans of comic books who want to see more magic in theaters when the film premieres on September 3.
The new poster also features some of the supporting characters who’ll be part of Shang-Chi’s journey as he tries to find his place in the world. We can seeAwkwafinaas Shang-Chi’s friend Katy,Florian Munteanuas the villain Razor Fist, andMeng’er Zhangas Shang-Chi’s estranged sister Xialing. The dragons, however, are the big stars of the new poster, as the two creatures seem to represent the dark and the light on Shang-Chi’s path. It’s a well-fitting art that teases the family feud between Shang-Chi and his father, the leader of the criminal organization known as Ten Rings.
