One of the MCU’s upcoming movies is Shang Chi. We reported not too long ago that Donnie Yen and Ludi Lin were in the running for the role. Now, according to Justin Kroll; Marvel is taking care in who they are looking at for the titular role.
With comic-con closing in, hearing Marvel is putting out test offers for a group of men in their 20s for its SHANG-CHI movie. Marvel have also been adamant to reps offering up their clients for the role that they have to be of Chinese ancestry no other Asian ancestry excepted.

Shang Chi is a Chinese character and it’s good to know that the studio isn’t falling into a typical move that many studios do. That is roping all Asian actors together and not caring about specifics.
