shang—chi. shawn—chi. no, shang—chi. shawn—chi. shang... shawn... shang. shawn... s—h—a—n—g — shang. shang? _ yeah. star, simu liu makes a likeable lead and is joined by seasoned actors, michelle yeoh and tony leung, with meng?er zhang making an impressive screen debut as shang—chi's sister. marvel regular benedict wong also makes a welcome return. but once again, the secret weapon is that fabulous awkwafina, and her irreverent comic relief. even if she's also there to explain everything in very simple terms. personally, i could have done without the return of ben kingsley as hammy actor trevor slattery, who first appeared in iron man 3. and his fluffy cg sidekick seems aimed to please purely small kids and the merchandising department. that aside, the film is fantastic to look at, from visual effects to costumes, all the departments are at the top of their game here. shang—chi is an entertaining blockbuster that should please fans of the mcu, and it's a historic moment for asian representation in mainstream movies. who are you? it's in cinemas now. i
