Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings arrived on Disney+ just a couple of days ago, and fans have been very happy to have the opportunity to revisit one of Marvel Studios' best origin stories.
Now, one of the movie's deleted scenes has been released, and it reveals a very different fate for one key character. Razor Fist was originally going to die, and this scrapped sequence gives him a rather heroic send-off as Wenwu's right-hand man races into action after giving Katy a pep talk.
In the final cut of Shang-Chi, Razor Fist survives the final battle against the Dweller-in-Darkness' forces and can be seen alongside Xialing in that post-credits scene teasing a new Ten Rings. When we spoke to actor Florian Munteanu, he said that "end credits scenes in the Marvel Universe mean a lot and there are no coincidences in the MCU."
"[Razor Fist is] now following a new leader as payback not only to honour what I always call his stepdad because, at the end of the day, Wenwu gave him a new life and purpose and a home. He trained him and took him away from the streets. She’s his daughter, so there’s more meaning to that than just following a new leader, but we’ll have to see what happens. I can’t wait."
