The first Marvel Studios film with an Asian director and a predominantly Asian cast has been ranked first in South Korea with a real-time reservation rate of 37.7% just four days before its release, according to reports on 29 August.
This is the first story about Marvel's new powerful hero “Shang-Chi” and the reality of the legendary organisation “Ten Rings” since talks about such a character were held between legendary Stan Lee and actor Brandon Lee along with his mother Linda Lee during the 1980s. Shang-Chi was first mentioned in the “Master of Kung Fu” comic book series in the 1970s and Brandon Lee's father, Bruce Lee, was the inspiration.
“The Legend of Shang-Chi and Ten Rings” will be released in South Korea on 1 September.
