Her performance has certainly been noticed — and fans are wondering where such a talented actor was hidden away for so long.
In fact, some fans couldn't wrap their head around the fact that this was actually Zhang's first movie role.
But I'm not the only one who was impressed by Zhang in Shang-Chi — Marvel fans are also raving about her online. Let's dive:

15. There's also the cute story of Zhang meeting her future husband on the set of the movie.
Shoutout to Meng'er Zhang as Xialing. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about her character, but she kicked ass. It’s also sweet knowing that Zhang met her husband on set of this movie. Pretty impressive for her first acting role ever. #XIALING
16. Not loving Meng'er Zhang should be a crime. How can one not like her?
meng’er zhang is the absolute cutest!!!
17. Yes, we want more Meng'er Zhang films.
[taps mic] if I could have everyone’s attention, until further notice this is strictly a #ShangChi fan account, specifically for Meng’er Zhang + #Xialing
18. Please, Disney! Just one movie centered around Zhang's character Xialing.
#ShangChi is awesome! One of the best #MCU movies yet. @SimuLiu makes the role his own ✨ And yes Awkwafina is fun to watch. But can we talk more about Meng' er Zhang’s #Xialing? 😍 She’s amazing! Scene stealer! Hope to see more of her next!
