Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Filmmaker Interview
The first filmmaker to direct both a Marvel and a Sony film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe tells IndieWire about the finer details of Peter Parker's current lot in life, the "Kang" fallout, and why this one is so personal.
He's still working on the series "Wonder Man" and the "Shang-Chi" sequel.
Cretton will direct the "Avengers" film as part of Marvel's Phase 6.
"I didn't have that thing that made people want to watch it."
Henwick had offers to audition for both "The Matrix Resurrections" and "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings."
Two post-summer hits battle for #1 as individual one-time PVOD purchases continue to hold their own against subscriber-based sites.
In honor of Disney+ Day, the platform announced a slew of new shows including “Agatha: House of Harkness,” “Spider-Man: Freshman Year,” “Moon Knight,” “She-Hulk,” "Ms. Marvel," and “I Am Groot.”
The weekend box office was at its weakest in months, but that's about to change with "Venom," "Dune," and "No Time To Die" opening soon.
"Dune" also opened well in overseas territories, bringing hope for a strong October. For adult-audience movies like Clint Eastwood's "Cry Macho," it's another story.
Director Destin Daniel Cretton and the VFX team discuss the Great Protector, the Dweller in Darkness, and Morris, the new Baby Groot.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss: Marvel's latest, "Free Guy," and "Jungle Cruise" own nearly 80 percent of the box office total.
"Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" is the Labor Day Weekend surprise that saved the best for last.
