Had Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Chiu Wai followed through on a promise he made many years ago, he might never have appeared in the latest Marvel movie, Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings.

On Monday (Sept 6), Leung, 59, appeared on the radio show When I Was Young I Listen To The Radio to promote the movie, in which he plays the villain Wenwu.
