Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings: New Single and Poster
During the Disney investor call, it was announced that Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings would not be heading to Disney+ like so many people assumed that they would. Earlier that same day, Sony Pictures became the first studio to blink and delay a major release due to rising COVID-19 numbers. With the Disney call just a few hours later and some tweaking of the marketing material, people assumed that Shang-Chi was going to follow. It didn't, and Disney has said that the movie will be a theatrical only release with a 45-day window along with Free Guy. So the marketing machine continues to spin as we got a new single from the soundtrack called Run It by DJ Snake, Rick Ross, and Rich Brian.
We also got a new international poster from IMP Awards, and Shang-Chi star Simu Liu made an all too relatable comment about how this was the poster that finally made his parents proud of him.
I, too, hope to someday make my parents proud of me.
