Iron Man
If you thought The Incredible Hulk was a blast from the past, then this one is really going to throw you for a loop. This one goes all the way back to when Tony Stark was traveling through Afghanistan with US military forces and doing weapons demonstrations. As we all know, Stark was eventually captured and forced to work on a missile for his captors where he actually ended up making his first Iron Man suit instead.
This mysterious terrorist organization that kidnapped Tony Stark was none other than Ten Rings. This group had been operating mainly out of Afghanistan at the time and had established an arms deal with Stark Industries’ Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges). That didn’t exactly go down too well for Ten Rings. But in the end, the villainous group didn’t have to retaliate since Stark took care of Stane.
It’s already well-known that the physical rings will play a major role in the plot of Shang-Chi, but it’s also indicated that this criminal organization — led by Wenwu — will have an important part to play in the story as well. Wenwu is now known to be the villain behind the true title of The Mandarin. And that’s where the next and final film on this list kicks off.
