Shang–Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings is due to take the Marvel Cinematic Universe to new heights. The film stars Simu Liu as the title character, Shang-Chi and is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. In the comics, Shang-Chi is known to be one of, if not the best hand to hand fighter in all of Marvel comics. In the film, Shang-Chi definitely shows off his impressive skills and more. During a recent interview with director, Destin Daniel Cretton, we wanted to see what he would like to see with Shang-Chi in a potential battle.
The Movie Blog: What MCU character would you like to see Shang-Chi take on in a one-on-one fight?
Destin Daniel Cretton: Well by the end of this movie, it’ll probably have to be somebody pretty powerful. I think it’d be fun to see Shang-Chi and Spider-Man do a little spar. You could see what comes out of that.
Seeing Spider-Man and Shang-Chi go at it would not only be pretty cool to see, but it’s also got some comic book precedence too. There was a time in the New Avengers comic book series where Spider-Man lost his Spidey-sense powers. As a result, he ended up learning some martials arts from the Kung-fu master himself, Shang-Chi. Unfortunately, given the current end of the run to the Sony and Marvel Studios deal (where they shared the rights to Spider-Man), this may have to just be a dream matchup to take place other than live action. Maybe with Marvel Studios doing more animation series, they could make this happen.
Shang–Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings is worth the watch in theaters where ever its safe to do so. You can read our review here and watch the full review below.
