It seems the comic writer behind such titles like Venom and Guardians of the Galaxy thinks that fans should want Keanu Reeves in Marvel Studios’ next film Shang-Chi.
The writer in question was Donny Cates who is behind such Marvel titles as the ongoing Venom series, Guardians of the Galaxy and many more. In a recently deleted Tweet, he stated that fans would want him in the upcoming Marvel Studio’ film after spending four hours in a room with the breaking story. He did not, however, go into any details as to why.

Introduced in Special Marvel Edition #15 in December 1973, Shang-Chi is a skilled martial artist who was raised in an isolated compound located in China and trained by his father Fu Manchu, a Chinese crimelord and immortal sorcerer who repeatedly attempted to conquer the world. When Shang-Chi was finally allowed to venture into the outside world to do his father’s bidding, he learned about his father’s evil ways and faked his own death before embarking on a mission to take down Fu Manchu’s criminal empire.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton from a script written by Dave Callaham, Shang-Chi will reportedly modernize the source material in order to avoid the character stereotypes of the time. The Marvel Studios film currently does not have a release date

The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.
Directed by Jon Favreau from a script written by Jeff Nathanson, The Lion Kingstars Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon.
