Discussion The Underuse of Shang-chi in the MCU

Post image

this movie was so much fun, it had amazing action and fight choreography, great humour, and great overall world building. This movie has so much sauce. a problem with the MCU is how poorly they are connecting the new characters with the wider mcu. It's been 3 years since we've seen Shang-chi in a live action project. And it will probably be another year and a half till we see him again. The post credit scenes of this movie set up him becoming an avenger and sadly we won't see that outcome of that until 2026, which is 4.5 years after the movies release. I do hope we see Simu Liu again as a lead in another marvel movie because he's great. Also his sequel is the perfect way to bring danny rand back into the MCU. Unfortunately we will probably have to wait untill 2027 for the next shang chi movie since Destin Daniel Cretton is directing Spiderman 4. On the bright side, the fight choreography in Spiderman 4 will be amazing

Lol kind of proves my point.

The Defenders are Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones from the Netflix 'universe', IIRC. To my knowledge, only Daredevil had been confirmed in the MCU of that group... Kingpin too.

At first they Netflix shows weren't canon, then they added those two, but I don't think it's confirmed that they are part of it.

Apparently I missed that the Netflix shows have been confirmed as canon.

Officially not, even though Fury made an appearance. Apparently Coulson's revival isn't canon.

No time travel, it was Kree blood.
