Goddamn, that looks sweet. There are a lot of striking shots in the trailer, not the least of which is that image of Tony Leung’s Wenwu rocking the long hair. The fight scenes look incredible. Some of the Wuxia sequences are jaw-dropping. What I love about the trailer is how it perfectly sets up the family dynamic Shang-Chi and Wenwu will have in the film. There seems to be some sort of deep-seated contention between father and son and I can’t wait to see that play out.
