Marvel's first Chinese superhero movie "Shang-Chi" will start filming in Sydney

According to foreign media reports, Marvel's first Chinese hero movie "Shang-Chi" will start shooting in Sydney. It is expected that this movie will bring nearly 4,700 jobs to the local area and boost the business of 1,200 related companies. There are also reports that the movie "Shang-Chi" will receive a one-time funding subsidy of 24 million Australian dollars.

It is understood that the character of Shang-Chi is inspired by Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon". This character is proficient in many martial arts such as long sticks, nunchakus, swords, etc. Shang-Chi is not a newly created character. He first appeared in Marvel Special Issue No. 15 in 1973, and occupied the cover of Issue 17 less than half a year later.

In the past few decades, he has been active only in short stories most of the time, mainly staying in the circle of martial arts themed characters and competing with other superheroes. Occasionally, he would appear with the well-known Spider-Man, and later even joined the Avengers to gain unlimited clones.

According to current information, the film will be directed by Chinese director Destin Cretton, the script will be written by American Dave Callaham, and the starring role may be played by Chinese movie star Mike Maher. Of course, although they are more or less related to Chinese people, the whole story may not have much to do with China.
