It is hard not to fall in love with Tony Leung
Tony Leung is making his Hollywood debut in 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. But his longtime fans are well aware of his particular onscreen power. Photo: USA Films The power lies in his hooded eyes. Large, dark, and — to use a stereotypical descriptor sincerely — inscrutable beneath thick brows frequently tilted in angles of unspecified melancholy. When they draw you in, it suddenly becomes a little hard to breathe. You can’t look away.
I myself have been lucky enough to have drooled over Leung’s onscreen smolder for years, admiring the way he embodies a Hemingway iceberg; the bulk of his characters’ thoughts, memories, dreams, and desires all lurk heavy beneath his surface. You can do no wrong in casting Tony Leung, whether the role is a meticulously written character in a tightly scripted movie or is part of a shoot that has no script to speak of.

It’s his only truly villainous role prior to playing Wenwu in Shang-Chi. Even so, Leung manages to make Mr. Yee someone for whom we’d betray our country, if he’d only look at us like we were the only good thing in his life.

Reunited with frequent screen partners Maggie Cheung and Ziyi Zhang in a doomed love triangle, Leung’s Broken Sword is preoccupied with the fate of the world.
