Foreign media have previously revealed that Marvel is confirming the cast of the Asian superhero movie Shang-Chi. Currently, the screenwriter is confirmed to be Dave Callaham (Doom, Wonder Woman 2) and the director is Destin Cretton (Hotshot, The Glass Castle). However, the role of Shang-Chi has not yet been selected.

Mike Moh is a Korean-American actor and martial artist, he is a 5th degree black belt in American Taekwondo and has played "Ryu" in "Street Fighter". This time his role as Bruce Lee in Quentin Tarantino's latest masterpiece "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is a perfect reproduction. I wonder if netizens' strong recommendation will really make him the candidate for "Shang-Chi".

As a martial artist and superhero, Shang-Chi, also known as the "Kung Fu Master", first appeared in a special edition of Marvel Comics published in 1973. He is proficient in long sticks, nunchakus, swords and many other martial arts, and has also joined the Avengers. Created by writer Steve Englehart and artist Jim Starlin, Shang-Chi eventually gained the ability to create copies of himself. The original inspiration for the character of Shang-Chi came from the success of Bruce Lee's 1973 film "Enter the Dragon", which became popular in the United States that year.

Although many aspects of the character are dated by today's standards, Marvel is reportedly aiming to update the character and tailor it for modern audiences to avoid the stereotypes that were quite common during that era.

In the comics, Shang-Chi is the son of the villain Fu Manchu. He was born in Hunan, China, and lived in seclusion since childhood. He was trained in martial arts by his father and master, and his skills are superb. When he finally came to the outside world, he learned that his respected father was actually very evil, so he rose up to resist him.

At present, Marvel's Asian superhero movie "Shang-Chi" has not yet been scheduled.
