All of the characters that you meet in this movie — a few you’ve met before, most you are meeting for the first time…we know we have a success on our hands when we do a test screening and people come out and ask ‘When are we gonna see Shang-Chi again?’ or ‘When are we gonna see the numerous other characters in this movie?’ The answer is soon.”
