Marvel Studios has been ruling the superhero genre for over a decade now, constantly expanding its cinematic universe with new and exciting characters. One such character that has been highly anticipated by fans is Shang-Chi. But the question on everyone’s mind is, which Marvel movies will Shang-Chi be in?
The Introduction of Shang-Chi:
Shang-Chi made his debut in the Marvel comic book series “Special Marvel Edition” #15 in December 1973. Created by writer Steve Englehart and artist Jim Starlin, Shang-Chi quickly became a fan-favorite character known for his incredible martial arts skills.
Shang-Chi’s Solo Film:
After more than four decades since his comic book debut, Shang-Chi finally gets his own solo film titled “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” This highly anticipated movie is set to release on September 3, 2021.
This film will introduce audiences to Shang-Chi, played by Simu Liu, as he navigates his way through the mysterious world of the Ten Rings organization. The movie promises to showcase thrilling action sequences and delve into Shang-Chi’s complex backstory.
Crossover Potential:
While “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” is primarily a standalone film focusing on its titular character, it wouldn’t be a Marvel movie without some connections to the larger universe.
Rumored Appearances:
- “Avengers: Endgame”: There are rumors suggesting that Shang-Chi might have made a brief appearance during the climactic battle in “Avengers: Endgame.” However, this has yet to be confirmed by Marvel Studios.
- “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”: It’s been confirmed that Shang-Chi will have a role in the upcoming “Doctor Strange” sequel. This opens up exciting possibilities for future team-ups and crossovers.
Potential Team-Ups:
- The Avengers: Given Shang-Chi’s impressive combat skills, it’s highly likely that he could join forces with Earth’s mightiest heroes in future “Avengers” films.
- Spider-Man: Another exciting possibility is a team-up between Shang-Chi and Spider-Man. Both characters possess incredible agility and acrobatic abilities, making them a formidable duo.
Conclusion:
While the exact details of Shang-Chi’s involvement in future Marvel movies may still be shrouded in mystery, one thing is certain – this martial arts master is here to stay. With his solo film on the horizon and rumored appearances in other projects, fans can look forward to seeing more of Shang-Chi’s incredible skills and his impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
So mark your calendars for September 3rd, 2021, and get ready to witness the legend of Shang-Chi unfold on the big screen!
