A new Shang-Chi trailer was expected, and we got it last night on ESPN. What we did not expect was Abomination being in it! Check out the latest trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings below.

Is that Wong fighting Abomination in that cage fight? It could be a different sorcerer as there are loads of them as we saw at the finale of Endgame. However that is most definitely Abomination as subtitles have confirmed. Abomination will also have a new look this time around. Whilst he still looks similar to the version we saw in The Incredible Hulk, he does seem to have grown those comic book accurate ears.
There are reports that Abomination will feature in She-Hulk, but there were no leaks or rumors around Emil Blonsky showing up in Shang-Chi. The header image I used is the clearer image, but this slightly poorer quality image below shows the ears a little better. The rest of the character looks the same as the the one we’ve already seen in the MCU.

That sure could be Wong. The height, and build are consistent with Benedict Wong, however without seeing the face clearly we cannot say for certain. Does this trailer also confirm those fighting tournament rumors we shared eons ago? I hope so as that sounded like a damn fun movie to me. Does anyone else want to see Abomination win this fight, just so we can see Shang-Chi kick his butt later?
The other reveals in the trailer were our first look at that Water Dragon that toys have called the Great Protector. Some fans just think they’ve renamed Fin Fang Foom for this, I’m less sure. The dragon appears to be friendly and on the good side, which I don’t think would make it anything like Fin Fang Foom was.
What do you think of this new Shang-Chi trailer and that Abomination reveal? As always, leave any thoughts in the usual place below.
