Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was among the productions forced to halt work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it's believed that work on the Marvel Studios movie has now resumed in Australia. Many of the cast members are back in the country based on recent social media posts, and that includes Shang-Chi himself, Simu Liu.

There's obviously a lot of excitement surrounding seeing him in action as the Master of the Martial Arts, but a trailer is likely a long way off after the movie was moved from February to May, next year.

Now, though, Liu has shared a video of him pulling off some impressive moves, including a badass somersault which points to the actor doing his fair share of practical stunts in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Co-star Ronnie Chieng commented on the Instagram post, saying he filmed the clip, so chances are this was taken on or near the movie's set.

Check out Liu in action below:

My feelings when I realise Jackie Chan and Jet Li were both in the same movie once but the producers made the main character a random white guy 😐 📽 by @anthonyrinna

Nice, its going to be a tournament movie right?

Hopefully they get some impressive martial artists.

Get some people from The Raid, Ip Man, dont restrict it to chinese martial arts, throw in different styles from different parts of asia

Yeah one character I know nothing about outside of, him possibly being based on Bruce Lee and before his death, Brandon Lee was Stan Lee's choice for the role.

So no superpowers just straight up kung fu?

Just the back? :P

Just got done lifting. My shoulders are killing me, my hands are shaking, and I'm nearly back to my previous maximum before slacking off for a year. And in this afterglow of a solid workout, you dare post this video of a living adonis doing something my uncoordinated old ass will never achieve?

My motivation... I can feel it evaporating away with every passing seco-wait nope that was a fart, I'm good.

@Spock0Clock - I just did leg day and I can barely even move, haha. Thank god for my classes being on Zoom now

That was awesome looking forward to Shang Chi, but what is the name of that martial arts kick he did? Have always wanted to learn that one.

TheNZNatural - 8/25/2020, 3:03 PM

@John456 - don't quote me, but I *think* it's a variation of what's commonly known as a Butterfly Twist...

WeaponXCII - 8/25/2020, 5:06 AM

This is definitely going to be something special whenever we do get to see it.
