Trivia
- Aside from the mobile games Marvel: Future Fight, Marvel Duels, Marvel Contest of Champions and Marvel Strike Force, this will be Shang-Chi's first adaptation outside the comics.
- In the comics, Shang-Chi's father was Fu Manchu. This was changed due to both the racist connotations of the character, and the fact that the license to adapt the character and related characters eventually expired.
