He has the exact same level of facial expression acting as Ian McKellen when he played Gandalf in "Lord of The Rings." You can really see the emotion, class, talent and the experiences he had in his journey as an Actor 💯

[@TheJessy8888]

He is most known for how he can express a large range of emotions just with his eyes...

In every story, it begins with words! Then, it is written!! Once it is written, it becomes visual!! The movie version is the visualisation of the written story plus additional creative changes that may be required to make the storyline more smoother to tell!!!

[@Ironheart73]

Xu Wenwu is not the first sympathetic Villain MCU wrote. We all got to see and to a point understand Erik Killmonger, Loki, and Thanos. What set Wenwu apart is that he was motivated completely out of love, and not out of hate, revenge, envy, or megalomania. Killmonger, Loki, and Thanos at some point lost their benevolence to Megalomania. But all Wenwu wanted was to have his wife and family again. He is willing to give up all the power in the world for his family. He is simply one misguided man

[@purgeblue]

Indeed. We even took off the rings and wanted to grow old because of his wife and his children. He wanted to walk a brighter path. But his violent past dragged him back in but he was fighting to get back on the road he walked when his wife was alive

[@jyanneskye2535]

Tony Leung was the reason I watched Shang Chi in the first place. So proud of him, as he is a legendary actor in our Chinese Entertainment Industry. So happy that his first Hollywood debut is his portrayal of Wenwu.

[@ugandaicecreamandsoda834]

I knew it. He is from china? Well, we all are impressed. My family especially. He have the wise look and he is handsome too. Great job guys

[@emhgarlyyeung]

​@@ugandaicecreamandsoda834 Yes, he is from Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China (HKSAR)

[@daimonatkins3046]

So many emotional moments really got to me when watching Shang-Chi and Wenwu really was a standout character in not just this movie but the whole MCU

[@AshArnoldEditing]

The action was great but I was pleasantly surprised by the emotion.

[@silveriver9]

Best mcu villian.

[@jacksonk7362]

Every scene with him was class. Even him doing nothing and simply sitting with his hair falling on his forehead .. this man was the biggest actor Marvel ever had.

[@cleopatrasrevenge]

God not since Killmonger has a villain made me sympathise so much with him in a film. Just the perfect blend of tragic past, misplaced motivations, sheer power, and good looks

[@AshArnoldEditing]

Honestly making the opening of the film all about Wenwu falling in love after a lifetime of fighting was a brilliant move, instantly knew what his motivation was.

[@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971]

He was a brother,Wenwu as a husband,father

[@funtanillarodolfoo.6705]

I want to see a wenwu in the past. All those names he was once called of.

[@moonstone3054]

I felt sad whenever I watched Wenwu's scenes, but this edit made me straight up bawl. It's such a great combination of his lines, the music choice was phenomenal, the way you faded his wife into his son when they were spinning him the exact same way. This edit was such a tasteful one and I will definitely be back to watch it again. Wenwu is just such a tragic character and part of me really wishes he could have lived. But I do understand that the best choice for his story was death, however much that end sucks. Tony Leung is such an incredible actor, and you can just see the miniscule emotions portrayed on his face. That moment when the dweller in darkness shot out, you can practically see the color draining from his face, and he didn't even hesitate to push his son out of the way at the cost of his own life. It's almost like the second he realizes he's been tricked, he realizes his age and he realizes how almost senile he has become. Because of this, instead of fighting back against the dweller in darkness (something he could have at least attempted), he chose to look at his son one more time and hand the legacy to him, knowing that he would bring fresh blood to the ten rings and he would use them better than Wenwu ever could. This edit was just the perfect way to show it and I absolutely adore every bit of it. Thank you for bringing this beautiful work of art into the world.

[@AshArnoldEditing]

Wenwu is one of my favourite characters because of his relationship with his wife and family. I love how Tony Leung played him and I wanted this video to showcase that side rather then the action. I really appreciate the support means a lot to know that you connected with something I made.

[@keikaider]

His story, is a story as old as time. “And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty, and beauty stayed his hand, and from that day forward he was as one dead”

[@topgig]

Xu Wenwu, The Mandarin, is my favorite villain in the whole MCU. I love your tribute to him.

[@AshArnoldEditing]

He’s definitely in my top 3 for sure, and thanks for watching!

[@yazovgaming]

If you ask me, he was never a villain in my Opinion, just a broken man

[@vishalkoul3637]

The way this character is portrayed by the actor behaves exactly like someone who is not bound by time. Great actor. Great editing Ash Arnold.

[@cloink_7605]

tony leung says he could not find any part of him as a villain. i watched the movie 2 times, his interviews many times, thought about this always. but i didn’t understand it. he’s arrogant and kills, he’s the bad guy. but then i realised the unique thing about him is that he’s never filled with hatred. it is the desire of love that he never got before. he’s like a lion that eats everyone but just a little kitten inside. “his eyes tells stories” i understand it now. he is truly an amazing actor.

[@VidDuality]

Wenwu was SUCH an amazing character, and his complicated, deeply moving but messy relationship with his children brought this story to a whole new level...

[@Thephenomenalboss]

Wenwu is the most beloved villain in Marvel Universe. Tony is legend. Biggest Fan from India.

As a man, i would not cry in any situations like Romeo and Juliet or others but this video made me cry for first time in my life. The Mandarin is not exactly villain MCU hoped for but he loved his late wife too much and did everything to get her back. Wish your talents should notice by Hollywood, man!!

[@AshArnoldEditing]

Ying Li, the guardian "angel" of Ta Lo, was the only person that was able to cast out Wen Wu's demons, but Destiny would deny them their "happily ever after" in this Life. With his death, Wen Wu was reunited with his Beloved + finally at peace. (Destiny/Fate is an ubiquitous theme in Chinese Culture.)

[@anthonygesswein1830]

i think i heard along the lines that even if Wenwu went all out on his wife, she'd be the only one who could beat him 1 on 1 she's like the perfect balance to him he was destined to meet her

[@bkrick22]

Man shang chi was such a nice breath of fresh air compared to the same recycled material the mcu spews out....but damn WenWu is probably my favorite mcu character helluva performance by the GOAT Tony Leung

Love can change a monster into human. But taking his love away will make him a mad man even worse you've ever seen. Should have portrayed him more fiercely but I still love it. He stayed in a way his wife wanted but he did what he could do to bring her back. Wish there was a way. I feel bad for Mandarin. Someway we all can relate to such people.

[@mingyaowu7720]

The wenwu character somehow had to face some bad karmas due to his misdeeds as a dictator before meeting his wife. He is lucky to meet his wife and that changed his character to a more a humane person rather than a dictator. That why at least at his last breath. He realised his mistake and let go the rings to his son. This mcu movie feels more like a life philosophy movie and is very educational one too.

[@vuukhoa2406]

He just wants to get his wife back, because a man who gives up everything for his love is a great man. Like me, I still try my best so that one day I and her will meet again

[@charlesxavier7041]

The Mandarin (Wenwu) if we think deeper we can see he's the villain with one of a kind tragic death in the MCU. He already stopped being a villain until the Giant Soul Eater pretends to be his dead wife, manipulates him and died sacrificing his life for his son, much like his nemesis in the comic "Iron Man" which actually have nothing to do with him and Yondu.
