MCU: How Marvel Should Re-Introduce Every Netflix Hero
4. Iron Fist
Iron Fist is very much rooted in the world of martial arts, and so to is Shang-Chi, a character who seems to be receiving his own MCU movie soon.
This movie would be the best method to introduce Iron Fist back into the MCU, with the two heroes having teamed up many times in the comics it would not be as though the only thing connecting them would be their martial arts based skill sets.
At the end of the second season of Iron Fist, Danny Rand travelled to Asia to try and once again become worthy of the mantle of the defender of K'un-Lun, something which he seems to have achieved by how the final shot of the show saw his hands light up once again. As such, their is further precedent for the character to be reintroduced in Shang-Chi's film, with the mater of kung fu also being based on the continent.
Ideally, they would meet while both seeking out Orson Randall - a previous Iron Fist that Rand was searching for at the very end of his Netflix series. Sure, Shang-Chi doesn't exactly have any relation to Randall, but it would be fantastic to see the character properly brought to the MCU, and using a reintroduction of Iron Fist in Shang-Chi's movie would be a great way to do it.
