Captain America shield and Spider-Man Easter Eggs spotted in Shang-Chi trailer – WATCH

Recent articles

It’s been nearly two years since the last MCU movie hit theaters, but after Black Widow came out in July, fans will be introduced to the latest Marvel superhero to join the franchise. The first trailer of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings landed today on what also marks the 32nd birthday of title star Simu Liu. And ever since the teaser arrived online, fans have dissected the footage scene by scene to run into Captain America shield and Spider-Man Easter Eggs.

In a scene from the trailer, Shang-Chi is shown topless in front of a pair of hanging chains, presumably about to fight someone.

And hidden in the dark background is what looks a lot like Captain America’s shield.

Although some Marvel fans believe this could be John Walker’s homemade shield, as seen in the end credits scene from the penultimate episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier last week.

The former Captain America has lost his right to the name and is on the cusp of becoming a US Agent from the comics, as Sam Wilson finally takes over the mantle Steve Rogers passed him on in Avengers Endgame.

With only one episode to go, maybe Shang-Chi will be making his MCU debut with a cameo in Friday’s finale?

After all, it would be perfect timing given the Shang-Chi trailer released today, so here’s hope.

Aside from the Captain America shield Easter Egg, eagle-eyed fans also saw a Spider-Man specimen.

Zach Cherry, who played the street vendor in Spider-Man Homecoming and asked Tom Holland’s Peter Parker to “do a flip,” also featured in the Shang-Chi trailer.

Asked on Twitter if it was him, Zack replied with a wink, “It’s not.”

An official synopsis for the new film reads: “Shang-Chi must face the past he thought he left behind when drawn into the web of the mysterious Ten Rings organization.”

The new Marvel movie stars Awkwafina as Shang-Chi’s friend Katy and Michelle Yeoh as Jiang Nan.

While Tony Leung plays Shang-Chi’s father and the leader of the Ten Rings Wenwu aka The Mandarin.

Speak with Weekly entertainment, Shang-Chi star Liu shared his excitement about taking on a lesser-known Marvel character.

The 32-year-old said, “The most exciting thing about entering this character was that his backstory has never been told before.

“We know so many different versions of Batman’s origin story, how his parents were killed when he was very young. We know Peter Parker, who was bitten by a radioactive spider, and he loses his uncle.

“Shang-Chi’s story is virtually unknown to most of the world, so we had a lot of freedom and creative freedom to make it the way we wanted.”

Following the release of Black Widow and Shang-Chi, Marvel fans will have two more MCU movies to look forward to in 2021.

In November, the Eternals will be released, following a race of ancient aliens who have lived secretly on Earth for thousands of years.

While Spider-Man: No Way Home arrives just before Christmas and is rumored to open up the multiverse to previous Sony Peter Parkers and villains.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will be released in theaters on September 3, 2021.
