Shang-Chi "may be the only hero powerful enough" to stop Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday – according to a wave of new merchandise.
Marvel and Hasbro's new line of Avengers: Doomsday toys (as revealed by People) showcase a lineup of Earth's Mightiest Heroes that might make Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom think twice about taking on the Sacred Timeline.
But it's Shang-Chi who supposedly boasts the ability – and Ten Rings – to stop whatever threats come their way.
As per the Shang-Chi toy description, Simu Liu's Avenger “may be the only hero powerful enough to stop the threat the Avengers face." Bold words, indeed.
While it's been a minute since we've seen Shang-Chi in action, his standalone 2021 movie introduced his ultra-powerful skillset, courtesy of the ancient Ten Rings. They're not quite on the level of the Infinity Stones, but arguably could be enough to give Doom trouble in his universe-conquering quest.
Elsewhere, a LEGO set may have confirmed which heroes and villains will be present during one of Avengers: Doomsday's most climactic set-pieces.
The Avengers: Doomsday Comic-Con trailer already revealed that Doom would be raising a Sentinel. Now, the 'Epic Battle: Doomsday Showdown' set features Thor, Reed Richards, Mystique, Magneto, and Nightcrawler battling it out against Doctor Doom.
Given how Doom blocks Stormbreaker in the first official Avengers: Doomsday trailer, we could be looking at an X-Mansion fight taking place near the beginning of the movie, setting the scene for a Marvel crossover like no other.
Avengers: Doomsday opens in cinemas on December 18.
