Could we see Fin Fang Foom make his formidable presence felt in Marvel's
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings? That's the latest rumor to come from Daniel Richtman (via
Full Circle Cinema).
Originally introduced in the pages of
Strange Tales, the alien dragon from the planet Kakaranathara is best-know for being an adversary of Iron Man, but he does have ties to
Shang-Chi's villain. In the comics, the character who steals the titular ten rings from Foom's vessel goes on to become The Mandarin, who will be played by Tony Leung in the film.
Richtman reckons he's also confirmed a previous rumor that The Master of King Fu (Simu Liu) will enter a tournament in an attempt to win the powerful rings.
How likely is this? We'd say about 50/50. The source has had some solid scoops in the past, but he's also had a few debunked. Although an appearance from Fin Fang Foom would make a certain amount of sense, it's best to keep that grain of salt handy until we learn more.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings is set to hit theaters on February 12, 2021.
