Simu Liu is the latest Marvel hero, in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Shang-Chi is punching his way onto your TV. Marvel's latest big screen outing, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, debuts on digital platforms on Nov. 12 and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on Nov. 30. 

From opening battle to inevitable post-credits scene, Shang-Chi is a blast of kung fu fun. Unlike July's Black Widow, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings premiered only in theaters, last month, and it didn't stream on Disney's own streaming service. But it'll be available for all Disney Plus subscribers Nov. 12, the same day as the home release hits other platforms, including Apple TV, Prime Video and Vudu.

In the movie, Simu Liu plays Shaun, a lovable goof wasting his life parking cars and doing karaoke with his buddy, played by Awkwafina. Except his name is really Shang-Chi and he's actually a martial arts assassin trained by his millennia-old warlord father to be part of a ninja army. Hong Kong cinema legend Tony Leung runs away with the flick, which also stars Michelle Yeoh.

The home release comes with 11 deleted scenes and other bonus features:
