While at the San Diego Comic Con, Blackfilm.com got a chance to speak with member of the Wu Tang Clan, rapper, producer, actor, and now director Rza, who was here to talk about his directorial film debut, The Man with the Iron Fists.

Having a stellar international cast led by Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu, the film tells the epic story of warriors, assassins and a lone outsider hero in nineteenth-century China who must unite to destroy the clan traitor who would destroy them all.

Since his arrival in China’s Jungle Village, the town’s blacksmith (RZA) has been forced by radical tribal factions to create elaborate tools of destruction. When the clans’ brewing war boils over, the stranger channels an ancient energy to transform himself into a human weapon. As he fights alongside iconic heroes and against soulless villains, one man must harness this power to become savior of his adopted people.
