Remember that the script of the project is in the hands of Dave Callahan, creator of the series ‘Jean-Claude Van Johnson’ and before joining Marvel, he participated in the libretto of ‘Wonder Woman ‘1984’. Apparently, the idea is for the film to follow the steps in ‘the Black Panther’ in terms of the choice of the cast and most of the characters are played by actors of asian origin. Of time even are rumored names.

Shang-Chi was created by Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin, and introduced to the readers of Marvel comics in 1973. Clearly inspired by Bruce Lee the superhero possesses extraordinary skills for the martial arts but in addition has the power to create a replica of itself. It may be interesting to see this character on the big screen…
