Marvel Officially Recognizes Shang-Chi as the Next Avenger

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is now playing in theaters around the world, giving fans the chance to see Marvel’s newest newcomer make a mark on the big screen.

The film is very much about legacy, with Shang-Chi striving to honor his ancestors and live up to all the Marvel heroes that came before him. Shang-Chi’s promotional materials have made this clearly evident by citing previous Avengers.

Because Shang-Chi is so cut off from the rest of the MCU, many people are asking how he will continue to have an impact on the larger universe in the future.

However, according to new promotional material for the film, Shang-Chi will play a vital role in the MCU’s ever-expanding tale.

Marvel Studios has officially given Simu Liu’s hero the title of Avenger in a new TV promo for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Following that comes footage showing several of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, and Thor, putting Shang-Chi alongside Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, and Thor.
