This isn't a Tv production.Marvel better up the ante with their fight choreography for this. I don't want another Iron Fist situation.
I doubt Iron Fist will get introduced, at least not in the first one, but a mention of Kun Lun isn't out of the realm of possibilities. I'd love to see a rebooted Iron Fist and Luke Cage on the big screenThink they'll introduce an MCU version of Iron fist? Or at least mention kun lun in this movie?
We all know who the villain will be ...daddy issues lol
I guarantee that name will not be used lolWonder if they're going to go a more grounded approach...I kind of want to see some crazy mystical stuff lol.
They might have to change Fu Manchu's name lol.
Black Widow will probably have a smaller budget tooI've been waiting for a smaller scaled Mcu film like a film with 70 million to 100 million. Not as expensive as the other MCU movies but not cheap compare to Marvel TV's shows. I wonder if this is going to be the first one.
I feel like Marvel did a good job showcasing Magic/mystic stuff in Dr. Strange and I think they would also nail the Kung Fu/fighting aspect of Shang Chi.
Sub-forum?

Destin Daniel Cretton is Ryan Coogler's buddy. The two of them developed a tv show together. No doubt Coogler will lend Cretton some support if he wants it.
Zhang Zu tried to marry one of his daughters off to T'Challa in the comics in the hopes of securing power over both Asia and Africa. Be interesting if that gets brought up in the movies.
Marvel were calling Fu Manchu Mr Han in the comics when they lost the rights. Marvel have been using the name Zheng Zu as Shang Chi's father's name for almost a decade now. Zheng Zu will probably be his name in the movie.
In the comics Fu Manchu always had a bunch of alias names anyway (he was a master of disguise and immortal so the loss of rights to Fu Manchu and negative connotation connected to the character were no great loss.
Marvel should avoid the whole "scientifically perfect" white American woman for Shang Chi's mother. I can't imagine that going down well today.
I wonder if they will just make Zheng Zu a regular Chinese crime boss or if they will include the whole immortal Elixir thing and army of magical ninjas si-fan.
He's been directing and doing fight choreography while still doing 2-3 acting roles per year (typically doing all 3 jobs on the same project.)Hire all those guys. Bring in Sammo Hung too where's he been? lol

I think Shang Chi will be in the 130 to 160 million budget range.
Andy Lau (who was originally going to be in Iron Man 3) or Donnie Yen (who was in Disney's Star wars Rogue One) would be my choices for Zheng Zu. Both speak English and are notable actors.
Lau is one of the biggest actors in Asia and starred in notable films like Infernal Affairs (remade as The Departed) ad academy award nominated movie House of Flying Daggers.
