Destin Daniel Cretton, director of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, is optimistic about his chances to use a fight scene that had to be cut.
Destin Daniel Cretton, director of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, hopes to repurpose a fight scene that he was forced to excise from his film.
Cretton brought up the scene speaking to ComicBook.com when asked about the film’s enormous, elaborate action sequences that showcase an impressive collaboration of stunt performers, trainers, actors and choreographers. While abstaining from giving away details about the scene he meant, the co-writer and director of the superhero movie lamented the cut but believed he could find use for the footage after all.
“Yeah, there’s one fight scene,” Cretton said. “All of our action sequences… take place in very unique environments, and the setting is as much a character to the fight sequences as the opponents who are fighting in them. There was one setting that we were not able to do in this movie, but I won’t say what it is because I really hope that we get to do it again in another film.”
Calling attention to the integral contributions of the recently deceased Brad Allan, who served as supervising stunt coordinator on the film, Cretton praised the work of Allan’s stunt team. He recounted that Allan “put together an incredible team of choreographers from mainland China and Hong Kong, some of which brought this other really beautiful choreo[graphy] that you could describe some of these fights scenes as elegant and emotional.”
Bulging with amazing fight choreography, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is in theaters now.
