Many people commented on the post:

“I WANT,” @jamiejchung replied.

“Shang Chu,” @wgatera joked.

“OMG! I need one of those,” @curvydays added.

“WHAT YOU BEING SO CUTE FOR,” @adriiiii.nana wondered.

In the comics, Shang-Chi is raised to become a deadly assassin, and his life gets turned upside down when he discovers nefarious details about his father. Shang-Chi then sets out to right his father’s wrongs, becoming Marvel’s “Master of Kung Fu” and serves as a member of Heroes for Hire and the Avengers.

The film will be helmed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Short Term 12, The Glass Castle) on a script by Wonder Woman 1984’s David Callaham. Awkwafina and Tony Chiu-Wai Leung have also been confirmed for the film, with the latter playing The Mandarin.
