I read that " A feature film, The Hands of Shang-Chi, is in the planning stages, with Yuen Wo Ping directing and Ang Lee producing.".I could imagine Shang-Chi would b good 4 a gritty realistic kung-fu movie.The bad thing is that he's kind o'an obscure character (although I think he would have great potential 4 his own series).Also he came out in 1973 prob. as I think the result o'Bruceploitation (like Iron Fist but even he has more substance now after the "Immortal iron fist" story) and his dad is Fu Manchu;a now racist stereotypical pulp fiction character.I think they should try out a Shang-Chi series,give a bit o'time & then give him a movie.Any other thoughts?.

I'd rather Iron Fist.

Just watch enter the dragon or any Bruce Lee movie.

Depends on the actor who plays Shang-Chi and the quality of the fight scenes.

i agree with this

An Iron Fist movie would be SOOO much better than a Shang-Chi movie, imo

Marvel films suck as whole so I wouldn't expect it to be any good just because of what it is.You would think to make a movie with a character whom is basically a rip-off of every action movie star roles into one would be easy to make a movie out of but hollywood would find a way to f#ck it up.He'd be white with a black girlfriend,the fight choreography would be loaded with wires and unnecessary effects.Maybe the putties from Power Rangers would be there for some reason.Someone who never appears in Shang Chi ever would also be in it like...Iunno, Googam.They just can't get these movies right.

I'd watch it. Get that dude from IP Man

Yes! But they don't ever seem to do these comic movies justice IMO

Or Lady Shiva.

@Vance Astro: I'm guessing that's different now that the Avengers was BA!

 But that's just your bias though(No offence intended. Besides, no reason we can't have both. 

You are kidding right? The movies from Marvel studious have all been excellent. Iron Man, Thor, Incredible Hulk. 

I've actually changed my opinions on Shang-Chi, I've read a few Master of Kung Fu comics and they're pretty good, and I like the character. But a standalone movie, I'm still unsure about... :P

Iron Fist film wherein Shang Chi appears and the two have a good ol' throwdown.

Marvel's movies do tend to disappoint. However as a fan of MOKF, I'd love to see the Shang Chi on the big screen. Anything that gives the character high profile exposure is welcome. It may be just the thing to get the character back into a solo monthly.

It would be interesting to see how they address his origin, considering Marvel no longer has rights to use Fu Manchu.

@Vance Astro: The great thing about Shang Chi is that he is not a super powered being.
