This sounds really cool. There was a leak a while back that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will be a "tournament" movie, and it's since been reported that the main focus of this movie will indeed be the hero vying to defeat a series of opponents.

Chances are that this will be how Shang-Chi is named the "Master of the Martial Arts," and it's a fun way for him to both earn that title, and show off his amazing set of skills. It's worth noting that there isn't really a precedent for this in the comic books, so Marvel Studios has clearly decided to take things down a slightly more original route in the MCU.

Michelle Yeoh (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) and Florian Munteanu (Creed II) are both rumoured to be among Shang-Chi's opponents, and the MCU meets The Raid meets Kickboxer is definitely something it's easy to get excited about seeing next year.
