Shang-Chi & The Legend Of The Ten Rings: 8 HUGE Questions Raised By The Post Credit Scenes
1. Is Shang-Chi An Avenger?
The first few solo movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe built up to the first iteration of the Avengers, with each hero suddenly being thrown into a universe much larger than their own solo franchise.
Though Phase Four began with Black Widow, rounding off her character arc rather than telling a new story, it seems that Marvel Studios are gearing up to a similar thing in 2021. Shang-Chi was brought in to a conversation between Wong, Captain Marvel, and Bruce Banner, which strongly indicates that he will be the newest member of the team.
After the events of the Infinity Saga, the number of Avengers is dwindling greatly, and Shang-Chi’s natural skill and talent, his new found ability learned from his aunt, and the fact that he is in possession of one of the most powerful artefacts in the world make him an ideal candidate to join the team.
Not every MCU hero has become an Avenger, however. The likes of Doctor Strange and T’Challa only ever worked alongside the team without officially joining their ranks, but it seems that this won’t be the case for Shang-Chi. He is Avenger material, and it seems as though he has just been drafted.
