SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS Concept Art Reveals Closer Look At Overhauled Abomination

New concept art for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has been revealed, with one piece highlighting the hero's final costume and the other offering a better look at the comic accurate Abomination.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is another great Marvel Studios movie, though we'd be lying if we said that Abomination's minor role wasn't a little disappointing. After all, he wasn't really in the movie for much longer than what we'd seen in the trailer, and those scenes didn't exactly set the stage for whatever he'll be getting up to in She-Hulk next year. 

Despite that, the redesign couldn't be faulted, and a new piece of concept art from Anthony Francisco offers some insight into the villain's overhauled, comic accurate appearance. 

The artist doesn't shed too much light on his approach to Abomination in the Instagram post below, but does say "This green guy who [was[ drawn countless times in my high school days...[because] he always fought Hulk. And I loved drawing Hulk during my science class...actually, I drew during all my classes except for science. I wanted to listen in that class!"

It's pretty awesome that he essentially grew up drawing doodles of this classic comic book bad guy before ending up part of the team that brought Abomination back into the MCU this year.

Marvel Studios Director of Visual Development, Andy Park, has also shared a fresh piece of artwork showcasing his design for the costume Shang-Chi wears during the movie's closing battle. Hopefully, more concept art will find its way online soon, though we're betting most of it is being saved for an "Art of" book.

Check out both pieces from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings below:

Got to wonder what he has been up to all this time. considering his new mutation.

Maybe something involving the Leader. (Maybe leader also gave him back his dick, considering Incredible Hulk version didnt have one and this one wears that cloth)

@dracula - that's how the Leader gets his loyalty and how he initially lost it...

@dracula - Pretty sure it showed he’s still in prison. I think he’s just continued to mutate as the super soldier serum and hulk serum continued to alter him over time

@dracula - Aparently the original mutation took his ears and dick away. Then they mutated to huge ears and huge dick. Although the later is yet to be revealed.

@dracula - In Agents Of SHIELD he was in "The Fridge" (With Man-Thing and other characters) but this isn't cannon anymore.

One of the few comic book movies in general where the villain and hero are both interesting

For all the hype about it's big debut, Shang Chi still hasn't turned a profit and doesn't look like it will.

With a budget vaguely around $150- $200 million and a marketing budget undisclosed, but likely around $100 million, Shang Chi has made "only" $264 million world wide and fading fast with no release in China. And I know, "pandemic", but still, can this be considered a box office success if it tops out just around $350-400 million?

I do like that Abomination design, almost exactly the same as the comics.

Will the Abomination redesign be explained is the question.

@Thing94 -

Probably in she-hulk since he’s in that one.

@Thing94 - does it need to be?

It just seemed so odd seeing The Abomination so...controlled. lol I feel like there's more to what we've seen going on with him in Shang-Chi.

any reason in the movie why he looks different?
Slotherin
Slotherin - 9/16/2021, 7:08 PM
@grif - I don't think they explore it.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone hooked him up with something to mutate him further (Leader possibly) to beat Hulk or if it's simply a gradual mutation he's undergone since his initial transformation

He looks like a giant gremlin.
