Marvel’s Shang-Chi: Michelle Yeoh teases her character is a “guardian of a mythical city”

July 16, 2021 by Liam Waddington

With Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings arriving later this year, one of the stars of the film has discussed how she fits into the story of the upcoming martial arts movie.

Although official plot details are still being kept under wraps, Michelle Yeoh revealed in an interview with Collider to promote her Netflix movie Gunpowder Milkshake that her character will be serving as a “guardian of a mythical city.”

“We are so happy that we are having our first Asian superhero. And not just superhero but superheroines around him as well, and I am a guardian of a mythical city. These young people come in and they have to learn how to protect history, and to protect not just this world but the worlds that are around us from the demons that are locked away. So it’s magic, it’s reality, so many things happening and it’s a lot of fun,” Yeoh said.
