'Shang-Chi' sets new standard for Marvel's latest phase
“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” is the latest film from Marvel Studios, packing a walloping punch at box offices with a $90 million opening weekend. Because of the pandemic, the theater industry has taken a hit with fewer people going to see movies in theaters, and many preferring to rent or watch movies from the comfort and safety of their own home. However, Shang-Chi’s opening weekend is not only a tale of re-establishing the box office, but a well-deserved win for Marvel’s first Asian-led superhero film.

A plot very similar to its predecessor.
