In early next year, Marvel Studios will begin filming SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS. The movie stars Simu Liu in the title role and will include the real Mandarin, too.
In the director's chair will be Deston Daniel Cretton, who spoke with Collider to not only confirm his cinematopgrapher will be Bill Pope (THE MATRIX), but his goal for the tone of this movie will be on-par with THE MATRIX.
"What made you choose Bill Pope as your cinematographer? Is there something that he brings to that kind of world that you were specifically looking for?
"CRETTON: Yeah. He has a really beautiful style, that’s both naturalistic and grounded, but also heightened, in the best way. And anybody who can shoot The Matrix is probably gonna do great with this one.
"Is that within the kind of tone that you’re looking to bring out with the story?
"CRETTON: Yeah. I think particularly for our first Asian/Asian American step into the MCU, that tone feels right."
