Censorship[]
Despite featuring an Asian lead, the film was not released in China likely due to Simu Liu mentioning his parents' struggles and negative experiences living in China in an interview in 2017.
Notes[]
- The Vietnamese title was first announced as "Shang-Chi và huyền thoại Thập Nhẫn" but due to criticism of mistranslation (Nhẫn means ring as in hand-accesories), the title was changed to "Shang-Chi và huyền thoại Thập Luân" (Luân means circle/ring in general)
