After Finn Jones' disappointing tenure as the MCU's Iron Fist, it would be nice to finally see a Marvel martial arts character done correctly, and Shang-Chi should be the one to right that wrong.

Chi has been a part of many groups over the years, ranging from MI6 to the Heroes for Hire to the Avengers, and with good reason, the character being able to defeat most superpowered heroes, despite lacking powers himself - even without the preparation that the likes of Batman require.

It was reported just last year that Marvel were keen on bringing the martial artist to the MCU, and one can only hope that the utterly badass Iko Uwais - of The Raid and Mile 22 fame - is on the shortlist to portray the character. As his appearances in the aforementioned movies have demonstrated, Uwais' skills when it comes to action/fighting scenes is second to none, making him a fantastic candidate for playing a character with the title of 'The Master of Kung Fu'.
