There was a huge amount of news coming out of Disney's Investor Day, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ended up getting a little lost in the shuffle! 

While a few cast members were revealed during last year's San Diego Comic-Con, we now have some character names. However, they don't reveal a huge amount about what to expect; Awkwafina, for example, is playing Katy, Shang-Chi's "friend." On the plus side, The Mandarin is getting a name: Wenwu.

Michelle Yeoh is taking on the role of Jiang Nan, alongside Fala Chen as Jiang Li, Meng’er Zhang as Xialing, and Ronny Chieng as Jon Jon. 

Perhaps the biggest reveal is that Florian Munteanu is playing classic comic book villain Razor Fist.

A brief synopsis for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has also been revealed, and that states: "Shang-Chi must confront the past he thought he left behind when he is drawn into the web of the mysterious Ten Rings organization."

Take a look at the announcement below:

@IcePyke - Maybe read some Shang-Chi comics. He's been around since 1975

@RegularPoochie - I had a Wolverine stand alone story in the 90's called Save the Tiger where he fought Razor Fist in Madripoor.

@IcePyke - Razor Fist. Kind of a B to C tier level villain, but he's been around or quite a while. He's even faced Spider-Man a few times (the first comic book I ever got had Spider-Man teaming up with Sheng Luei "Cat" against Razorfist and... Shockwave, I think).

Ok, crossover event of the decade set up right here. Razor fist vs taser face. Bring it on.

So glad to see Awkwafina in this. She steals the scene in everything she's in; the Farewell is one of the best movies of the last few years.

Also, she was just revealed as Scuttle in The Little Mermaid. Disney double dipping. I'm not mad.

Florian had me nervous for Adonis in Creed 2 and for good reason because he stomped him lol. “What loss?” Should be fun seeing someone with his physicality in this.

I'm so excited for this one. If they're gonna make it like Mortal Kombat, or those classic tournament anime like Yu Yu Hakusho or Flame of Recca, I'm gonna cream my pants.

I think this could be really good. I grew up on Bruce Lee movies, and Shang-Chi is pretty much a comic book avatar of Bruce. If Simu is half as charismatic as Bruce was, this could be a lot of fun, and how can you go wrong with mixing some legit Kung Fu into Marvel superhero movies...

I also like that they are making a movie centered around Asian characters, and using Asian actors instead of race-swapping other properties to please the Hollywood Woke crowd.
