Wenwu has lived for a thousand years.
But in this moment from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, he only needed to look fifty.

Kun Xiao from Alpha Chromatica took on the challenge of subtly de-aging Tony Leung, preserving every nuance of his performance, the eyes that have seen too much, the restrained power behind every breath.

This wasn’t a beauty pass.
It was a reconstruction of time.

Across five seconds of dialogue, Kun tracked wrinkles, rebuilt laugh lines, retimed pores and speculars, ensuring the audience never saw the work, only the man.

De-aging isn’t about erasing someone's age.
It’s about restoring the moment when purpose still outweighed regret.
