Marvel Studios’ latest superhero movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings offers fans a pair of end credits scenes, one taking place shortly after the movie wraps and the other after the credits finish.

We’re going to explain what happens in each scene and use the comics to help understand exactly what these scenes are setting up for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Warning: full spoilers for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings!

Shang-Chi Mid-Credits Scene

The mid-credits scene shows Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) and Katy (Awkwafina) fresh off their victory in Ta Lo, recounting their fantastical adventure to their friends over drinks. A magical portal opens and Wong (Benedict Wong) steps out to invite the duo back to a place we assume is the base of operations for Earth’s sorcerers, Kamar-Taj. (Maybe Doctor Strange wasn’t around because he was busy helping Spider-Man?) Wong is particularly interested in the Ten Rings that Shang-Chi now wears, having inherited them after the soul-sucking Dweller-in-Darkness killed his father Wenwu (Tony Leung).

The Ten Rings are a weapon of extraordinary power, and we watch as a small council of Avengers meet to discuss them now that they’re in friendly hands. Shang-Chi, Katy, and Wong are joined by holograms of Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) as they observe a mystical diagram projected by the Ten Rings. (It’s notable that Bruce is no longer Smart Hulk–he’s now back to his human self and the arm injured from snapping with the Infinity Gauntlet is still in a splint.)

The group debates the origin of the Ten Rings. At the start of the movie it’s said that Wenwu discovered the rings 1000 years ago but their exact origin is unknown, with one story saying they were found in a crater and another in a tomb. Wong says the rings don’t match any artifact from their codex in Kamar-Taj. Bruce says the rings aren’t made from Vibranium and asks Carol if they could be from the Chitauri. Carol says they’re not Chitauri nor are they like any alien tech she’s ever seen. Shang-Chi says his father found the rings about 1000 years ago, and Bruce says a thermal luminescence scan shows the rings are a lot older than that.

Wong explains that when Shang-Chi came into possession of the Ten Rings, he felt it all the way in Kamar-Taj. Zooming in on the diagram of the Ten Rings, we see the rings are emitting a beacon of some kind. It appears Shang-Chi, by using them in the final battle, somehow awoke the rings, but it’s unclear what the signal means. The characters think the rings are sending a message, but to where no one can say.

In the comics, the Ten Rings are quite different than in the movie. Instead of a set of armbands, they are 10 different colored finger rings that grant the wearer various super powers.

The comic book version of the Mandarin originally found the rings aboard an alien spaceship belonging to a Makluan explorer named Axonn-Karr, who he killed before raiding his ship and making off with the rings. The Makluans are a reptilian alien race from a planet called Maklu IV. Marvel Comics fans are likely familiar with the most notorious Makluan, Fin Fang Foom, a massive dragon that has attacked Earth on more than one occasion. Dweller-in-Darkness appears to be the MCU’s version of Fin Fang Foom, considering its similar dragon-like appearance and telepathic powers, but the name was likely changed because it has long been criticized for being racially insensitive. If the Ten Rings are sending a message back to Maklu IV, then they could be summoning a whole army of reptilian monsters to attack Earth.

Then again, Carol’s comment about the Ten Rings not appearing to be any sort of alien tech might contradict that theory. Given how she has traveled the cosmos for decades and is the Avengers’ resident expert on aliens, she would probably know alien tech when she saw it. So her being unfamiliar with the Ten Rings may be a hint that they do not come from any place in the known universe.

With that in mind, we have another theory on where the Ten Rings came from, and it fits in with the overarching theme of Phase 4: the multiverse. If the Ten Rings aren’t from anywhere in our universe, then maybe they came from another universe altogether. As we saw in the Season 1 finale of Marvel’s Loki series, the “Sacred Timeline” was shattered after the death of He Who Remains (aka Kang the Conqueror), causing the multiverse to spawn anew. Perhaps the Ten Rings came from one of those new branch realities and in the chaos somehow came to be on Earth. In the comics, Kang has access to the most powerful weapons across space and time, so it could be that the Ten Rings are a weapon he left behind while waging his multiversal war. The MCU’s next all-hands-on-deck crisis seems like it will have to do with the multiverse (Secret Wars, anyone?), so if the Ten Rings are connected to it then that would give our new hero Shang-Chi a tangible tie to it.

It’s also worth pointing out that the upcoming MCU movie Eternals will tell a story that spans 7000 years, and it will feature the cosmic titans known as the Celestials, so perhaps we will learn more about the origin of the Ten Rings in that Marvel film. The Celestials are essentially space gods that wield unimaginable power, so it could be that the Ten Rings are an artifact they left behind on Earth long ago.

Shang-Chi End-Credits Scene

After the credits finish rolling, the post-credits scene reveals what’s next for Shang-Chi’s sister Xialing (Meng'er Zhang). During the movie, Xialing shared how she ran away from home to create her own criminal enterprise because her father wouldn’t let her be a part of his. And with the death of her father, she wastes no time merging her organization with the Ten Rings and moving into her father’s base of operations.

Most notably, women are now seen receiving the martial arts training there that Xialing never did when she was young.

While MCU Xialing seems to have proven herself to be a decent person at heart who is now on good terms with her brother Shang-Chi, one key moment shows that she may be turning to the dark side. During the mid-credits bar scene, when asked about his sister Shang-Chi says that she’s shutting down their father’s operations, so she seems to have deceived her brother and hidden her intention to take over instead. This duplicitous turn falls in line with the comic book versions of her character that are far more villainous.

It’s important to point out that there is no Xialing in the comics–she was created just for the movie (most likely due to her origin as the daughter of the racist "Fu Manchu" character), but her character seems to be an amalgamation of Shang-Chi’s five sisters in the comics (sister Zheng Shi-Hua and half-sisters Zheng Bao Yu, Kwai Far, Esme and Zheng Zhilan). Common traits among Shang-Chi’s sisters include a villainous edge, conflicted feelings about their brother, a desire for their father’s power, and deadly martial arts skills. Xialing’s appearance seems to be based on Zheng Bao Yu in particular.

If Shang-Chi’s sisters from the comics are any indication, then we’re likely to see Xialing once again at odds with her brother as she uses the new Ten Rings organization to accumulate more power. After all, the movie’s final moment does promise “The Ten Rings will return.” and seems to imply the return of both the criminal organization and the actual weapon.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is finally here, a superhero-flavored martial arts epic that features the title hero going against the Mandarin wielding his titular rings in battle.

At this point you might be wondering – what exactly are the Ten Rings? Wasn't that the name of a terrorist organization in the Iron Man movies? How exactly is this movie adapting the Shang-Chi and Iron Man comics? Let's break down everything you need to know about the Ten Rings, their powers and why these weapons and their wielder are being re-imagined for the MCU.

What Are the Ten Rings?

In Marvel's comics, the Ten Rings appear to be a set of highly powerful, magically charged jewelry that gives the wielder control over elemental forces. In truth, they're neither magical nor jewelry.

These "rings" are actually pieces of an advanced alien spacecraft that crashed in a remote part of China centuries ago. The Mandarin discovers this spacecraft after being exiled from his home. He spends years studying the ship and the science that powers it. He finally harvests 10 ring-like fragments that power the ship's warp core, turning them into deadly weapons he controls through a psychic link.

Why does the Mandarin pass these rings off as supernatural artifacts? This is a villain obsessed with creating an image and spreading his legend across the world, even if that story doesn't necessarily align with reality. He would have humanity believe he's an all-powerful sorcerer standing up against the West and its technological might. But in truth, he's merely benefitting from an even more advanced breed of technology.

The Ten Rings: Their Names and Powers

Each of the Ten Rings has a specific name and power. In fact, the rings have an intelligence all their own and are known to communicate with one another. Here's a rundown of each ring:

Daimonic – controls light and energy on the electromagnetic spectrum

Incandescence – generates waves of heat and flame

Influence – manipulates various forms of energy

The Liar – manipulates the minds of others and creates hallucinations

Lightning – generates lightning blasts

Nightbringer – creates a bubble of complete darkness (possibly by tapping into the Darkforce Dimension)

Remaker – manipulates molecules and speeds up and slows down entropy

Spectral – completely destroys a person/object down to the atomic level

Spin – creates vortexes of air, can be used for flight

Zero – controls ice and cold, allowing the Mandarin to emit freezing blasts or lower an opponent's body temperature

Over time, the Mandarin's bond with his rings has grown strong enough that he doesn't actually need to wear them to tap into their power. At one point, he even had the rings fused to his spine after his hands were severed.

How the MCU Changes the Ten Rings

The trailers for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings have made it clear that a great deal has changed in the journey from page to screen. For one thing, these artifacts aren't depicted as jewelry. Instead, they're shown to be a series of metal bands Tony Leung's Wenwu wears on his forearms. We don't know why Marvel Studios made this particular change, but it may have been to help visually differentiate the Ten Rings from the Infinity Gauntlet.

It's also not clear whether the Ten Rings have the same range of powers in the MCU. The trailers seem to show certain trademark Mandarin abilities. For example, one shot shows an awestruck Shang-Chi watching as water slowly twists and turns around him.

But the various shots of battle mainly show Wenwu wielding them offensively. They appear to hover in front of his arms, enhancing his strength and allowing him to fire powerful energy blasts. They also have a more uniform look, with one half giving off a purple glow and the other an orange/gold glow. Rather than each ring having specific powers and an independent intelligence, these bands may simply work together to give the wielder seemingly supernatural power.

Marvel may also be hoping to rein in the Mandarin's power level a bit. It's one thing to be able to control matter, energy and the electromagnetic spectrum when you're fighting Iron Man. But with the Mandarin being re-imagined as a Shang-Chi villain in the MCU, that much power is probably overkill.

It also remains to be seen if the Ten Rings will have the same origin story in the MCU. On one hand, the idea of the Mandarin/Wenwu harnessing relics from an alien spacecraft and passing them off as magical artifacts is in keeping with the MCU's general approach to magic. The Asgardians are highly advanced aliens rather than gods, Doctor Strange's magic mostly involves tapping into interdimensional energy, etc.

But on the other hand, the MCU has definitely veered in a less science fiction-oriented direction of late. Black Panther shows us the afterlife of Wakanda's kings. WandaVision presents a more traditional, spell-oriented form of magic. And with Shang-Chi apparently featuring literal dragons, who's to say the Ten Rings aren't legitimately magical?

Will Shang-Chi Connect to the Iron Man Movies?

The Mandarin and the Ten Rings have had a very confusing and controversial journey in the MCU so far. The first hint of this villain came way back in 2008's Iron Man, as Tony Stark is captured by a terrorist cell called The Ten Rings. The group's leader, Raza, can be seen fingering a mysterious, red-jeweled ring some fans assumed was Incandescence. The organization also plays small roles in 2010's Iron Man 2 and 2015's Ant-Man.

2013's Iron Man 3 threw Marvel fans for a loop by introducing two fake versions of the Mandarin. We eventually learn Tony Stark's rival Aldrich Killian adopted the imagery of the Ten Rings in order to disguise his failed Extremis experiments as terrorist attacks. Killian hired struggling actor Trevor Slattery to pose as the Mandarin, while also taking the name himself after gaining superhuman powers.

But as confirmed in the short film "All Hail the King," neither character is the true Mandarin. When last we saw him, an imprisoned Slattery was kidnapped by a Ten Rings member as punishment for besmirching the Mandarin's name. We're left to assume the version of the Ten Rings seen in the first Iron Man movie is real, even if Raza's ring was probably nothing more than a token or calling card.

Surprisingly, Marvel took its time to follow up on this major loose end. But Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is finally introducing the true Mandarin – Shang-Chi's father Wenwu. Wenwu is essentially a new character created for the MCU, one who seems to be a composite of Fu Manchu/Zheng Zu (Shang-Chi's father in the comics) and the traditional version of the Mandarin.

And in addition to Wenwu, Sir Ben Kingsley is back in Shang-Chi as Trevor Slattery. It's all come full circle!

2021 officially marks the 49th season of the World Rally Championship, making WRC 10’s 50th anniversary content… a fraction premature. Of course, after nearly two years of total turmoil it’s hard to blame anyone for wanting to celebrate their birthday early – the World Rally Championship included.

To mark the moment, WRC 10 arrives armed with the most retro content to grace developer KT Racing’s series so far, with a new mode featuring cars and stages representing five decades of rally racing history. Combined with a deep career mode, the result is the spiciest and arguably the strongest official WRC game to date – though that’s a narrow victory, since it still hasn’t changed dramatically since the already very good WRC 8 and WRC 9, and it’s still making some of the same minor mistakes.

That big 50th Anniversary mode is an important part of this year’s game, and it’s by far the biggest injection of historical content to the series since KT Racing started adding classic cars in WRC 8. With its own separate menu and period photography it does feel quite special at first, although there’s ultimately not really a great deal to it. They’re just a small collection of time trials with a little bit of text to explain the historical context of what you’re about to do.

One significant issue that some may have with the Anniversary races is that the time requirements don’t scale with the global difficulty setting. Inexperienced racers can dial down the intensity of their career and quick race difficulty, but at the time of review, Anniversary mode cannot be changed. I thought I was cruising when I notched up the first two events on my first attempts, but that changed on the extremely tough third event (which is actually the fifth event, because confusingly the third and fourth event got skipped and remained unavailable). At least a couple of the time requirements I’ve subsequently encountered in this mode so far have been surprisingly stiff; certainly severe enough for less experienced racers to bounce right off this mode entirely. It seems strange for WRC 10 to cater for new and novice players with a variety of settings, driver aids, and tutorials, but opt for a hardcore, one-size-fits-all approach for the marquee Anniversary Mode.

Audi, Partner

The good news for anyone stumped by the taxing time limits in Anniversary mode is that all of these cars – and the historical stages – can be used in identical fashion in quick play without any such pressure. WRC 10 allows us to put any car on any stage, historical or modern. The older historical stages are a fun addition because KT Racing has stripped out the contemporary advertising and safety features of the modern stages and replaced them with crowds of more period-authentic spectators, many of whom are poised dangerously close to the roadside. WRC 10’s old-school crowds aren’t anywhere near as thick as they were in the heyday of Group B bedlam but they definitely contain a few folks whose lifelong dream is to be killed by a rally car. Things obviously don’t get that grim, but the often-cramped crowds do make the historical stages a compelling challenge because just the tiniest touch to a stupid spectator will instantly respawn you on track with a stiff penalty.

KT Racing has done very well selecting a range of rally cars that really matter, and a lot of world championship-winning cars are represented. The classics garage stretches from the Alpine A110, the winner of the first WRC in 1973, all the way to Ott Tänak’s 2019 Toyota Yaris, which famously ended 15 years of the championship being won by blokes called Sébastien. There’s plenty of iconic metal in between, too, like a pair of fire-breathing Audi Quattros, several Lancias (including the mighty Intergrale), the Peugeot 205, the Toyota Celica and ’99 Corolla, the 2007 Ford Focus RS, the Volkswagen Polo R, and a handful of successful Citroëns. Colin McRae’s 1997 Subaru Impreza and Tommi Mäkinen’s 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V are two other legends you may have access to, but as of launch they’re currently tied up as either console pre-order incentives or deluxe edition content. Broadly speaking, however, it’s a very good spectrum of both drivers’ and manufacturers’ championship-winning cars; there aren’t too many major winning models missing.

Throttle Rocket

Annoyingly, WRC 10 instantly makes one of WRC 9’s more irksome missteps, which is demanding that everybody begins the career mode in either the WRC Junior or WRC 3 series, with no way for those of us who’ve done a few laps already to skip past these feeder series and get straight into the main WRC championship. I get that climbing the motorsport ladder is a natural part of a career mode process, but it just feels a little punitive to make the faithful redo it every year. I suspect I would’ve had more patience for it had WRC 10 let me dive straight into the new Private team career option, which lets you build your own race team and buy and design your own team car with the welcome new livery editor, but KT Racing has locked the most interesting new element of WRC 10’s career mode behind the completion of Anniversary mode, which I don’t get.

On top of that, the baffling bonus objectives have survived another iteration without being kicked to the curb, meaning you’ll still need to put up with your manufacturer suggesting daft things like “don’t use hard tyres for this rally”, which slightly undermines the interesting new tyre strategy layer KT Racing has inserted this time around. Not only must we choose a stockpile of tyre types to take into each rally, but tyres can even be cross-mounted if you want to experiment and potentially discover some extra speed on drastically mixed surface stages. Opting to complete the new shakedown before each rally will give you four additional tyres in your stash. Tyre strategy becomes very important if you opt for the new realistic rally length, which better resembles real WRC rallies (which, in real life, are generally run over hundreds of kilometres).

You can name your co-driver this year, which is a fun touch, and KT Racing has added both an English-language female co-driver and a range of extra co-driver chatter for a bit more flavour out on stages. They probably could’ve done with a wider range of comments because they get repetitive quickly, and they’re not always correct, but I quite admire WRC 10’s ability to get a rise out of me. If you find it irritating, the so-called immersive voice can be toggled off. There’s definitely been work on car audio this year, too; all the components and layers are there from WRC 9 but it sounds denser and I’ve encountered none of the volume bugs I ran into in WRC 9.

WRC 10 includes the new Estonian and Croatian rallies, but there are a few rallies missing from the roster. The last-minute Arctic Rally won’t be featured (the cancelled Rally Sweden remains in WRC 10 in its place) but KT Racing has explained that Belgium and modern Greek stages will follow after launch. I think Estonia is the highlight of the new rallies so far, with its fast, skinny stages and lush and gorgeous colour palette. Slower speeds expose some of WRC 10’s intermittent visual weaknesses, like squared-off curves and some occasionally plain trackside props, but it’s otherwise a very handsome racing game. Things look especially nice when low sun pierces the thick tree lines, and night stages look excellent.

Gravel rallies like Estonia are still my preference; I prefer them over tarmac rallies as it’s the type of looser driving I enjoy. There have been some changes to the handling this year and I find the better sense of consistent momentum while sliding cars on the throttle quite satisfying. It also feels more challenging to make very small steering adjustments at high speed, meaning I really have to finesse the car on straights. It does quite a good job of letting you know when you have the wrong tyres on, and the change in grip across surfaces seems more noticeable than ever. I think wheel feedback this year is probably the best it’s been, but I’m still faster on a controller.

KT Racing’s stage design remains fabulous, although it’s a shame so much of its excellent work from WRC 8 and WRC 9 has been dropped thanks to calendar changes. There is actually a bonus tab for other rallies, which I excitedly thought may have been KT Racing’s way of including rallies from the last couple of games that aren’t being run in 2021 – like Poland, Germany, Mexico, Turkey, or Australia – but the tab is inaccessible so instead I’m just confused.

Marvel's Shang-Chi movie has arrived! Simu Liu (Kim's Convenience) stars as the title character of the film, which is called Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Destin Daniel Cretton directs Shang-Chi, while Crazy Rich Asians star Awkwafina also stars.

But who is Shang-Chi, and why is he regarded as one of the greatest warriors in the Marvel Universe? Here's why they call him the Master of Kung Fu!

Shang-Chi: The Basics

Shang-Chi may be the son of one of the worst villains in the Marvel Universe, but he himself ranks among its greatest heroes. Shang-Chi has devoted his life to perfecting his martial arts abilities. Rather than using those talents for fame and fortune, he travels the world and rights wrongs. Sometimes he works alone. Other times he fights alongside heroes like Spider-Man, Daredevil or the Avengers. But wherever he goes, Shang-Chi inspires hope in the hearts of the innocent and dread in anyone foolish enough to challenge him in battle.

Shang-Chi's Powers and Abilities

Traditionally, Shang-Chi is depicted as being an ordinary fighter with no true superhuman abilities. But despite lacking Daredevil's heightened senses, Captain America's super-strength or Iron Fist's unbreakable hands, Shang-Chi has developed a reputation for being quite possibly the best hand-to-hand fighter in the Marvel Universe. He's skilled in a number of different forms of armed and unarmed combat. And because of his total mastery of his body's chi, Shang-Chi is strong enough to shatter metal and quick enough to dodge and even deflect bullets.

Recently, Marvel did overhaul Shang-Chi and give him a new superhuman ability – the power to create numerous copies of himself, each just as skilled in the martial arts as the original.

Shang-Chi: Origin and Background

Shang-Chi debuted in 1973's Special Marvel Edition #15. With the popularity of superheroes waning in the '70s, Marvel increasingly branched out into other genres like fantasy (Conan the Barbarian) and horror (Tomb of Dracula). Like Iron Fist and the Daughters of the Dragon, Shang-Chi was conceived out of a desire to tap into the martial arts movie craze of the time.

Initially, Marvel attempted to license the rights to the TV series Kung Fu. When that failed, the company instead acquired the rights to the work of pulp novelist Sax Rohmer, including infamous Chinese villain Dr. Fu Manchu and his Sherlock Holmes-like nemesis, Sir Denis Nayland Smith. Shang-Chi was introduced as the previously unknown son of Fu Manchu, and the greatest threat to Fu Manchu's plans for world domination.

Shang-Chi proved to be an immediate hit for Marvel. Two issues after his debut, Special Marvel Edition was renamed "The Hands of Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu" and became the permanent home for the wandering fighter. Shang-Chi also began routinely appearing in other Marvel titles, teaming up with everyone from Spider-Man to The Thing.

Unfortunately, his popularity began to wane in the '80s, with Master of Kung Fu ending at issue #125 in 1983. Shang-Chi began to appear more sporadically after that point. It didn't help that Marvel eventually lost the rights to Fu Manchu, making it difficult to continue exploring Shang-Chi's family history or even reprint the older Master of Kung Fu stories. That's to say nothing of the growing backlash to Fu Manchu as a racially insensitive caricature.

Fortunately, Shang-Chi has experienced a resurgence in recent years. He became a martial arts mentor to Spider-Man, helping the hero develop a new form of spider-themed martial arts after Peter temporarily lost the use of his Spider-Sense. Shang-Chi has also served on multiple incarnations of the Avengers. The 2010 series Secret Avengers even overhauled his background and connection to Fu Manchu. It was revealed that Fu Manchu was actually just a cover identity for Zheng Zu, an immortal sorcerer.

Shang-Chi: Beyond the Comics

Shang-Chi has seen very little action outside of Marvel's comics. To date, his only non-comic book appearance has been as a playable character in the free-to-play mobile game Marvel Future Fight. Surprisingly, despite his martial arts prowess he's never appeared in any of the numerous Marvel-branded fighting games.

His absence in Marvel's movies isn't for a lack of trying, however. Work began on a Shang-Chi movie back in 2005, when Marvel first partnered with Paramount Pictures for a shared universe of superhero movies. A Shang-Chi movie was planned alongside movies for Captain America, Hawkeye, Doctor Strange, Nick Fury, Black Panther and others. Obviously that plan changed slightly.

Finally, in December 2018 word broke that Marvel had hired Wonder Woman 1984 writer Dave Callaham to pen the screenplay, with the intent of hiring a director of Asian descent and crafting a film with a cultural impact similar to that of Black Panther. In March of 2019, it was reported that Marvel had hired Destin Daniel Cretton to direct. And now the film is finally here!
