Tony Leung Chiu Wai starts working out for Shang-Chi and will join the crew for filming next January

Marvel's Chinese superhero movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has started filming in Australia and Los Angeles, the United States on November 1. Hong Kong film star Tony Leung Chiu-wai will join the film and play the villain "Mandarin". Recently, Tony Leung's wife Carina Lau said in an interview: Tony Leung has started to work out for Shang-Chi and will join the filming in January next year.

Recently, Carina Lau revealed in an interview that Tony Leung is preparing for "Shang-Chi": "Now he is preparing to play a villain in a Marvel movie. He will join the crew in January next year. He has started working out because there are many action scenes to be filmed, and you have to stay very fit for this kind of scene. You also have to eat very lightly, so miserable!" She also has to help Tony Leung review other scripts, and can't help but say that he can never finish reading his scripts, which is also what she envies the most.

Previously, screenwriter and director Wong Chi-kwong, who had worked with Tony Leung Chiu-wai, revealed that Tony Leung Chiu-wai had heard about netizens' doubts about the "insulting China" nature of his new Marvel film Shang-Chi and The Mandarin, and reported the matter to Disney.

Marvel's new Asian superhero film "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" is scheduled to be released in North America on February 12, 2021, the first day of the Lunar New Year. Canadian-Chinese Simu Liu will play the protagonist "Shang-Chi", Tony Leung will play "Mandarin", and "Crazy Rich Asians" heroine Awkwafina will join.
