A new report in Toronto’s National Post says, the Marvel bosses have spent around $150 Million on Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings. Of course there is the $50 Million tax credit they got from the Government of Australia. In this budget, the Simu Liu starrer rivals that of the first two Thor movies. If taken into consideration, the only movies cheaper to make have been Captain America: The First Avenger, The Incredible Hulk, and both Ant-Man.
However, Marvel President Kevin Feige had trust in what he was making since the beginning. “The early reactions to the characters and to [Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings] itself gives me great hope that that people will want to see more of these characters,” Feige previously told ComicBook.com. “We certainly have many ideas of where to take them and where to put them. And as exactly as you say, what’s so fun, we know the movie’s working when it’s not just the title character that people ask about, but it is the co0stars or the supporting players that people ask about. And in this movie in particular, that’s heartening because we think they’re spectacular, and we think they have great potential in the future.”
Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.
