It’s a second that occurred so quick you most likely missed it—and even in the event you didn’t, possibly you didn’t consider it. In Marvel Studios’ newest trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the essential character attends a cage match with two creatures duking it out. They’re solely on display screen for 3 seconds, but it surely certain appears like a inexperienced monster combating a dude in some robes. But, no. It couldn’t be.
“Some fans said, ‘This looks like a character they hadn’t seen in many years named the Abomination, fighting a character that looks like Wong,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said to Rotten Tomatoes. “And I can say that the reason it looks like that is because that is Abomination fighting Wong.” And when Feige says it, you recognize it’s true.

Though it’s canonically a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and has been referenced a couple of occasions since, the film is largely ignored as a result of the corporate recast Mark Ruffalo as Banner within the movies that adopted. However, that movie did introduce William Hurt as Thaddeus Ross, who has come again in quite a few movies, and Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky, a person so determined for a style of Banner’s energy he turn into the evil Abomination. That character had additionally been largely forgotten, but it surely was just lately introduced he’ll play a task in the upcoming Disney+ She-Hulk present—and now, it appears, he’ll be in Shang-Chi too.
Wong (performed by Benedict Wong) was first launched in Doctor Strange and got here again in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. (He loves tuna melts and the mystic arts.) He’s anticipated to return in Doctor Strange within the Multiverse of Madness too, however once more, it appears we’ll meet up with him earlier than that.
What any of this has to do with the plot of Shang-Chi stays to be seen. The trailer makes it appear to be Shang-Chi is going to combat one or each of the characters, and possibly that’s his introduction to the bigger superhero group. Luckily we gained’t have to attend too lengthy to see. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings opens September 3.
