Welcome back everyone
It's Charlie
We finally learned what's going on with Shang Chi 2 and it looks like it's
going to be connected with Marvel's new plan to reincorporate the iron fist mythology
from the Marvel Netflix defenders shows into the MCU That's right.
Iron fist injunction to the same way they brought back
Daredevil Punisher just in general all the defenders characters slowly coming back.
So we'll break it all down because it reads like Marvel was basing some of this new story
on everyone's fanfiction about Shang Chi versus Iron Fist in the MCU.
Like, if you're going to do Iron Fist, why don't you just do them in the Shanghai
movies
Danny
It's just a bad memory
In the past
I hope so
If you're brand new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to get all the videos
There's a bunch of big stuff coming up
We have X-Men episodes starting next week.
Of course, I will be doing videos for everything, but recently we learned that Marvel had plans
to bring Iron Fist back on one of its other TV shows later this year called Eyes of Wakanda.
That's meant to be a completely different show in Wakanda, about a different group of people
across the ages, going back in the history of Wakanda, meant
to protect vibranium from outsiders, basically protect it from villains around the world
trying to steal it in at some point during that show, they were supposed to feature a version of Iron Fist.
this is a hot on the heels of them bringing the daredevil character back
and canonizing all the Marvel Netflix stuff to the MCU.
but it was still kind of a huge surprise because everybody expected Marvel to swerve
a little bit on Iron Fist just because of the way their show was received back in the day.
but the Iron Fist mythology is so huge in the comics.
Even if they wanted to swerve on the Danny Rand version of Iron Fist from that Netflix series,
it would be weird if Marvel never did any version of Iron Fist ever again,
so it was only a matter of time before they brought a version of Iron Fist back
Finn Jones, who plays Danny Rand, was also talking about coming back in the MCU with Colleen Wing
doing Heroes for Hire with Luke Cage, like doing brand new seasons of their shows.
I mean, I love I love Danny Rand. I love Danny Rand.
I love that character. I love I love everything about him.
I think he's such a jewel. lot of room for growth.
Personally, personally, where I would like to see
the reintroduction of the character would be something like a Heroes for Hire TV series.
I think that would just be I think that would be the most dynamic
and the most fun way to reintroduce those characters.
And I think, you know, I loved working with Mike.
I love the onscreen chemistry between Danny and Luke.
I'd love to I'd love to pick up the mantle again and keep moving this character forward, you know,
and make it the best possible iron fist That could be that was meant to be part of a larger conversation
he was having about iron fist season three, what they had originally planned on doing with
the characters had they continued like Austen Randall, getting into more of the mythology of the Iron Fist,
the ancient versions of the character, and doing new Heroes for higher stuff with Luke Cage it.
Now, in present day, it seems like this new iron fist supposed to debut during the eyes of Wakanda
series, might be connected to the Iron Fist that Shang she meets during the Shang Chi 2 movie.
We learned a little bit about the reported plot of the movie.
This is what it's supposed to be, at least right now.
I'm expecting this to change just a little bit just because Marvel Scripts
change, even on the day that they're actually filming stuff.
but it's supposed to get into the origin of the ten rings of power.
No big surprise there.
It's supposed to provide a more comic book accurate origin story for the rings.
Like there have been a lot of theories about how they were created.
MCU apparently is going to be relatively similar to the reason they were created in the comics.
Meaning that they would be connected to the McLuhan's in some way.
The rays of space dragons in Marvel Comics.
In the MCU, though, that would be the race of dragons that the great Protector Dragon comes from.
We're also supposed to meet more dragons from his race and learn more about their history.
I'll explain their backstory later in the video, because I already know some of that.
end, the movie is supposed to include
time travel elements, which is where this version of Iron Fist comes in.
There have been a lot of theories about this for the last couple of years.
Like you've probably seen the fake Marvel titles like Shang Chi,
The Wreckage of Time, that's all Just fan creations.
but it sounds like for a couple of years there have been a lot of rumors about them,
including time travel elements.
And that's why fans were coming up with this title for the movie.
That's not going to be the actual final title of the film
The reason why everybody thinks this new version of Iron Fist that we're going to see during
Isopod Conda is meant to be the ancient version of Iron Fist.
Like the very first person to wield it is because there's a time travel element,
so to speak, during the series, because it's going to take place over the different ages.
So we'll probably just see the older versions of Black Panther during the series.
one of these versions of Black Panther, these characters back in the past will probably run
into this ancient version of Iron Fist, in Marvel is kind of known for doing this,
like they tease a character or they have a cameo in some smaller project.
Then they debut as a much bigger character in some future movie.
best example of that is Tom Holland's Spider-Man.
Like he has a cameo in Captain America Civil War.
Then he goes on to Spider-Man Homecoming in his own solo trilogy.
now it's not totally clear if this ancient Iron fist that everybody's talking about is either Fan Fe
from the more recent Avengers 1 million B.C team,
or if it's going to be Wu Aoki, the Pirate Queen, a High Bay the Marvel Netflix
Iron Fist series was using her as the canonical first person to ever wield the iron fist in the comics.
They've introduced a few ancient versions of the character.
Originally, Wu Aoki was not the actual first person to wield the power
She was just meant to be the iron fist that was active during the 1500s.
but during the Netflix show when they were explaining how Colleen Wing was descended
from the iron Fist lineage, Danny Rand names Wu Aoki
as her ancestor is the original Iron Fist.
so that was a small change on the part of the Netflix show.
But in the MCU, because they changed the comics all the time, they might just carry that idea forward
and say that this ancient iron fist
that comes back in the Black Panther series in Shang, she runs into while he's time traveling
is where she based on all the time travel that's supposed to be happening in the movie.
The early theory right now is that Shang, she goes back into the past because of the ten rings plot.
He learns more about the origin of the ten rings, the reason for their creation in the MCU in the time
period that he travels back to is when this ancient iron fist is active and he just runs into them.
They're with a lot of kung
fu battles before they work together, since that's the typical arc of most kung fu movies.
Like they treat each other like enemies first.
Where have each other Until they realize neither of them are villains, they start working
together in It sounds like the plot will just directly flow from the Post-Credits scene teaser.
In the Signal, the ten rings were broadcasting.
Here's the thing, though.
We were all expecting that the signal coming from inside the ten rings was broadcasting to someone else
in present day of the MCU, either someone like Kang, because there were so many similarities
in the markings of the ten rings in Kang's technology during Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania
or they were broadcast in a signal to someone in another dimension because the whole race
of people came from another dimension, including the race of great protector of dragons. but.
The ten rings were meant to a crashed earth more than 1000 years ago, according to Shang Chi,
when we only found them about a thousand years ago then they've been lying there for much longer
before he found them.
so it sounds like they might be broadcasting a signal to the person or people who created them in the past.
Like the signal is transmitting across time into the past in Shang.
She will just follow the signal like a beacon.
And through that he'll learn more about the ten rings and why they were created
in the first place, and more about the origin of the Dragon's.
one of my early iron
fist theories a couple of years ago about how they could include the character in the Shang
Chi movies is just say that he gets his power from a dragon like he does in the comics.
But the dragon.
That each version of Iron Fist has to kill To take its power like take its heart to gain the iron fist
comes from the race of great protector dragons that Shang Chi's people worship.
so essentially it makes Iron Fist kind of a villain to Shang Chi.
Like, you killed the Great Protector Dragon to take your power.
That means that you're an enemy to me.
it kind of sounds like they're using a version of that idea.
But in the past,
we already know a little bit about the actual backstory of the ten rings of power themselves In the comics,
their backstory got retconned a couple of times, but it has changed over to the history
originally the Mandarin character who Wenwu is based on is an Iron Man character.
So this all started in the Iron Man comics, bit in the classic Iron Man comics.
They started out as ten different cylinders used by the McLuhan's space.
Dragons basically meant to power their interstellar spaceship that was super powerful and that was it.
Like they were just meant to be very powerful, but not infinity stone level power.
then in the more recent Iron Man comics, they retconned them again,
saying that they were always created by the mcluhan's to be powerful weapons.
In each of the different rings were ten cylinders containing
the trapped souls of powerful cosmic warriors, and each of the rings
possessed kind of a cosmic air awareness, like the infinity Stones.
Or even if you're talking about Lord of the Rings, The Rings of Power, the one ring of power,
The rings were alive just like the infinity stones are alive.
Like they have a consciousness of their own, a will that they exert on the wearer.
Sometimes they're often more powerful wills than the wearer, and they can just cause them to do
whatever they want them to do it still doesn't explain why the ten rings were created in the MCU.
Like, what is the whole point?
Are they just meant to be a weapon
or are they meant to be part of a cosmic device that someone created in the past?
how did they wind up crashing to Earth in the first place?
It all sounds like that's just going to be the main part of the plot during Shang-Chi two.
they have not explained who the actual main villain of the movie is going to be.
Previously, I said it could have been a version of Kang,
but because of everything that happened with Jonathan Majors in the past couple of years, him
being fired by Marvel, I do not think that Kang is going to be featured at any point during the movie, in
before the Marvel's movie came out a lot of people thought the ten rings might be connected to Ms..
Marvel's Banga, like, what if the ten rings were the other bangle
just because of the way they're worn on Shang Chi's arms?
They're kind of like giant bangles.
during the Marvel's movie, they confirmed that that is not the case because they revealed
where the second Bangle actually came from is just like the first bangle.
in the back story of the Bangles
is a little bit closer to the Queen Naga bands in the quantum bands of Quasar.
suppose all your theories about the origin of the ten rings,
they're going to be completely different from Ms.
Marvel's Bangles Either way, I'm super happy that Marvel isn't totally fringing
or passing on Iron Fist characters now that they're bringing everybody back
from those Netflix shows and canonizing everything to the MCU,
even if they don't want to bring the Danny Rand version of Iron Fist back right away,
or they want to do something different with the character in Swerve on the Netflix show
a little Jessica Hennig also talked about coming back
as her version of Colleen Wing Iron Fist in present day
And here's the thing here's we bring things back around to the first young she movie.
She said that she was supposed to be in that first movie as one of the main female characters,
but she would have been playing someone totally different in how she'd done that.
She wouldn't have been able to come back as her version of Colleen Wing.
she never said which character she was supposed to be, but I think it was either going to be Katie
or his sister, it would have been one of the major female roles in the movie.
now that they canonized all the Netflix stuff to the MCU, the Daredevil characters are coming back
first.
We know Punisher is coming back We know that Jessica Jones is supposed to come back after him.
Marvel, slowly rolling the characters in.
They could bring back Colleen Wing in present day through the future seasons of the Daredevil
show or other other Disney Plus shows based on those Marvel Netflix characters.
in, just like Finn Jones was talking about, if they want to redeem
the Danny Rand version of Iron Fist, I I think a smart move for Marvel
would be to do a new heroes for hire TV show, even if they're just going to do one season of it.
With Luke Cage coming back to everybody let me know in the comments if they're doing an ancient
version of Iron Fist during the Shang Chi movie, which version do you want that to be?
Ian How do you want them to bring back the Iron Fist characters
to the newer MCU stuff in present day, there's a whole bunch of stuff coming up.
I'll be doing X-Men videos in the next week.
