MCU Phase 4: Every Single Character Confirmed (So Far)

28. The (Real) Mandarin (Tony Leung) - Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings

The Mandarin
Marvel Comics

Eight years after the MCU trolled fans with the fake Mandarin in Iron Man 3, the real deal will be appearing in Shang-Chi, portrayed by the legendary Tony Leung opposite Simu Liu's Shang-Chi. Presumably, that means we're going to see the real Ten Rings and not just the fakes worn by Trevor Slattery or the terrorist organisation Aldrich Killian co-opted the image of for his plots.

Hopefully, this will also mean we get a chance to see the Ten Rings story tied up after it was just sort of forgotten about in Iron Man and Ant-Man. And if they can do that while avoiding the racist cliches of the comics' version of The Mandarin, even better.

The only other character we know for certain who is appearing will be played by Awkwafina, but for now, she's being kept under wraps.
