Marvel has a lot of news in the past two days, and several blockbusters have further content, let's take a look at it together.
1. "Shangqi" exposure trailer and massive information.
"Shangqi" finally exposed the first trailer, as Marvel's first Chinese hero single-person movie, coupled with the joining of Liang Chaowei, Yang Ziqiong and others, this movie of course received the attention of domestic audiences, the trailer everyone should have seen it, a variety of analysis is countless, here is only a detail, and then talk about some recent interviews.
It can be seen from the trailer that the timeline of the film does not start from Shangqi when he was a child, but after Shangqi left his father "Wenwu" and lived in San Francisco for 10 years, he had to go back for some reason. In Shangqi's residence, a poster of Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" is posted on the wall, which shows that in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there is also the actor Chow And the movie "Kung Fu", Marvel movies will often mention various classic movies or movie stars, and Spider-Man in "Reunion 3" defeated Ebony Throat in the way of "Alien".
The most important role in the film is undoubtedly the "Wenwu" played by Liang Chaowei, that is, Mandarin, and this role also caused a fierce discussion at the beginning, and the reason why the film will be renamed "Wenwu" instead of Manda may also be to avoid suspicion. Marvel boss Kevin Feige said of the character that there would be no such thing as "I am your father" in Star Wars, and ShangQi knew who his father was, and he had decided to leave until he had to go back. The character of Wen Wu has had many names, including Mandarin.
Producer Jonathan Schwartz said that when the audience hears the name Mandarin, they expect something specific, but the role may not be the same as they think. The viewer will see a more three-dimensional, more complex character, not just like his name.
Director Destin Creighton said that a villain like Wen Wu can easily become a very thin villain, but Liang Chaowei's interpretation adds layering to it, and he is a very emotional villain role.
In addition, the protagonist Liu Simu also talked about the role of Shangqi played by himself - when you look back at the comics of the 70s and 80s, you will find that Shangqi is an Asian hero, of course, for a certain period of time, the portrayal of this character in the comic has a certain prejudice, so they are trying to avoid entering the field of prejudice when determining the positioning of this role and the journey he needs to take.
"Shangqi" is currently scheduled to be released on September 3 this year.
2. The director lineup of "Spider-Man Parallel Universe" is confirmed.
Spider-Man Parallel Universe 2 is an animated blockbuster that Sony has high hopes for, because the first one is so amazing that it is called the best Spider-Man movie in history, which also puts forward higher requirements for a sequel. Therefore, for the creator, how to open up a bigger brain hole and tell a more interesting and meaningful story is a big challenge. The former Spider-Man Parallel Universe combines the wisdom of Bob Percy Katie (who participated in Super Invincible Dog: Curse of the Human Rabbit), Peter Ramsey (who directed "Guardian League"), and Rodney Rothman (who participated in Dragon Tiger Junior 2).
In the past few days, the director of "Spider-Man Parallel Universe 2" has also confirmed that there are three, namely Joey m dos Santos, who participated in directing the third season of "Incarnation".
