Marvel Studios also officially revealed additional casting for the film. While Tony Leung and Awkwafina were previously announced by the studio, their characters have been unveiled as Wenwu and Katy, respectively. Fala Chen, who Lizzie Hill previously speculated would be joining the film as Leiko Wu, will play Jiang Li. Florian Munteanu (Creed 2) will be playing notable comics villain Razor Fist, Meng’er Zhang will be playing Xialing, Ronny Chieng will be playing Jon Jon and Michelle Yeoh will be playing Jiang Nan; as is the case with Chen’s character, these characters seem to be either original characters or characters whose names have been significantly changed from the comics.

Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, will hit theaters on July 9th, 2021.
