Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

In ancient times, 10 mystical rings were discovered by a man named Xu Wenwu (Chiu-Wai Leung). As a result, he was granted immortality and unmatched power, which allowed him to become a conqueror and to create the Ten Rings organization. Searching for a village said to harbor mythical beasts, Wenwu comes across its guardian, Ying Li (Chen), and the two of them quickly fall in love, leaving Wenwu no choice but to flee the Ten Rings so the couple could raise their two children together. One of their also-immortal children, Shang-Chi (Liu), eventually pursues a normal life in San Francisco, changes his name to Shaun and vows to keep his past a secret. But when the Ten Rings tracks him down, Shang-Chi must face his past -- and his eternal future.
