Did you know there’s a dragon in the upcoming Marvel film Shang-Chi? Well, there is, and you can get a look at it in the new IMAX poster for the movie.
The Marvel origin movie will explore the new martial arts hero who will make his MCU debut in Phase 4, and a recent trailer revealed that Shang-Chi will include some familiar faces like Wong, Abomination, and more. The trailer also revealed a dragon many believe is Fin Fang Foom, a dragon-shaped alien from the Marvel comics.
While this is unconfirmed, you can get a closer look at an illustrated version of him and a second giant monster in the Shang-Chi IMAX poster. Check it out below.
Shang-Chi stars Simu Liu as the titular hero who is making a working-class living in San Francisco. However, Shang-Chi is actually the son of the Ten Rings leader Wenwu and Shang-Chi must return to his home to face his father.
While this is an origin story, the comics have featured some outdated tropes so it’s likely Marvel did some re-tooling with the character. Which is to say, this might be a very new take on Shang-Chi than we’ve seen in the comics.
Shang-Chi held its world premiere in Los Angeles, and while early social media reactions look positive we’ll hold our judgment until our official review when Shang-Chi premieres in September.
Just remember, Shang-Chi is slated to be a theatrical-only release and will not appear on Disney Plus Premier Access. However, it'll hit the streaming service after 45 days.
