Doctor Strange
Abomination isn’t the only returning MCU character that eagle-eyed Marvel fans noticed in trailers for Shang-Chi. A more recent addition to the universe was seen battling the Hulk’s old enemy using some familiar mystical powers. As Rotten Tomatoes confirmed via Kevin Feige, what fans speculated was a fight between Abomination and Wong was exactly that.
Benedict Wong debuted as Wong in 2016’s Doctor Strange where he was the librarian at Kamar-Taj — the temple where Steven Strange learned the mystic arts from The Ancient One. Despite Wong showing up in Infinity War and Endgame, those films are not as crucial as his role in Doctor Strange since they don’t really add anything to his character.
It has only been five years since this movie came out, but it’s still worth taking a look back at how Wong entered the MCU in preparation for Shang-Chi. Although he was just a librarian in Doctor Strange, Wong was already well-versed in the mystic arts and his abilities were shown off multiple times throughout the film.
