SHANG CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS (2021), dir. Destin Daniel Cretton
Shang-chi, you have nothing to fear. You have the heart of our dragon. I will always be a part of you. And your dad will too. Take everything we’ve given you and make it your own.

“Throughout my life, the Ten Rings gave our family power. If you want them to be yours one day, you have to show me you are strong enough to carry them.”

“When you’re dealing with the fantastical, it’s always a big challenge to try and make these things look real, so you’ve got to try and echo reality as much as possible and lean into that so that there is enough familiarity there that the audience sort of buy it a little bit more easily. […] The attention to detail is just so much fun to go back and look at. Bringing these characters to life, almost as much work goes into it as a hero character. It’s beautiful stuff.” — Christopher Townsend, visual effects supervisor on SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS (2021) dir. by Destin Daniel Cretton
