Deadline

Quote:

Marvel Studios is fast-tracking Shang-Chi to be its first superhero movie tentpole franchise with an Asian protagonist. The studio has set Chinese-American scribe Dave Callaham to write the screenplay, and Deadline hears Marvel is already looking at a number of Asian and Asian-American directors who want to do something as potentially monumental as was accomplished in Marvel’s first viable Best Picture candidate, Black Panther.

Shang-Chi first appeared in Special Marvel Edition #15 in December 1973, hatched by Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin. The script will modernize the hero to avoid stereotypes that many comic characters of that era were saddled with. The comic launched around the time that Enter the Dragon became a global sensation and martial arts films raged. In the comics, Shang-Chi is the son of China-based globalist who raised and educated his progeny in his reclusive China compound, closed off to the outside world. The son trained in the martial arts and developed unsurpassed skills. He is eventually introduced to the outside world to do his father’s bidding, and then has to come to grips with the fact his revered father might not be the humanitarian he has claimed to be and is closer to what others call him: The Devil’s Doctor. He also might be centuries old. The deceit makes them bitter enemies.

Huh.

Monterey Jack · 12-03-2018, 05:29 PM

Make sure EVERY PERSON IN THE CAST AND CREW is Asian, or else someone will complain.

imsounoriginal · 12-03-2018, 05:30 PM

Not a character I know anything about. This should be interesting, looking forward to it.

Do you think Marvel would give Ang Lee another swing at a Marvel character? Hehehe.

imsounoriginal · 12-03-2018, 05:40 PM

Would love to see Lee return but I’m sure there are plenty of other Asian directors who deserve such an opportunity. Especially since they don’t have two Oscars and the kind of clout to question Marvel’s directives.

Finn Jones for Shang-Chi

I know they'll be looking for a director of Asian descent, but Gareth Evans would be great for this.

That would be an acceptable replacement in lieu of The Raid 3.

Star Lord · 12-03-2018, 05:55 PM

Gareth Evans or Timo Tjahjanto. Maybe cast Iko Uwais as Shang-Chi.

imsounoriginal · 12-03-2018, 05:56 PM

Justin Lin’s the only name really leaping to mind as a realistic possibility at the moment. I assume James Wan will stay with DC or just move on to other non-superhero projects.

Good God, that'll kill me if they got either of them.

You really want him to make a PG-13 movie...?

That'll have excellent choreography, camerawork and direction, and it'll blow almost every Hollywood action movie?

Why not.

He has been around since 1973, has been an Avenger and a Hero for Hire. He was recently in Domino number 4, what books are you reading?
