Shang-Chi’s First Set Photo Teases The Avengers


It looks like there might be a surprising little Avengers tease in the first set photo of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Shang-Chi actor Simu Liu just recently took to Instagram to share the first set photo of his upcoming Marvel comic book movie, and in the photo (via MCU Cosmic) fans get to see inside the actor's makeup trailer while the Meeting Mommy star gets his hair done. The image seems pretty innocent in itself, but after sharing the word "Assemble" in his caption to the photo, fans can't help but spot the Avengers phone case of the Marvel actor, something that seems like a hint of Shang-Chi possibly joining the Avengers sometime throughout the film.

There's been very little news about what Marvel has planned for the Avengers, but it seems like the Earth's mightiest team of heroes needs a few new members. After battling with Thanos (Josh Brolin) and his army in Joe and Anthony Russo's two-part Avengers movie, the Earth's mightiest heroes lost a few in the battle. Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) sacrificed her life to obtain the Soul Stone on Voramir. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) sacrificed his life in the battle against Thanos. Then, there's Captain America (Chris Evans) who leaped through time and spent the rest of his life with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell).

With so many heroes gone, we wouldn't be surprised if the Avengers recruit a few others, including Shang-Chi.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is set to release on February 12, 2021.
