Shang-Chi & The Legend Of The Ten Rings Review: 7 Ups & 3 Downs

3. The Rock Solid Ensemble Cast

Though Shang-Chi doesn't feature one of the MCU's more well-known ensemble casts, there's a hell of a lot to like here.

In terms of veterans we've already mentioned Tony Leung, and though she has a relatively small supporting role in the film, Michelle Yeoh is typically terrific as Shang-Chi's aunt Ying Nan.

It'd also be remiss not to mention Simu Liu, who brings the charisma and likeability to the table necessary for any MCU leading man, and benefits from his sharp chemistry opposite a frequently hilarious Awkwafina, who plays his pal Katy.

Meng'er Zhang is meanwhile a kick-ass riot as Shang-Chi's sister Xialing and boxer-turned-actor Florian Munteanu is perfectly cast - and surprisingly funny - as the villainous Razor Fist, while one other familiar face is too spoilerific to even mention (though a ton of fun, for sure).
