‘Venom’ Writer Thinks Fans Should Want Keanu Reeves As Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi

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.

What do you all make of this idea? Is the Venom writer right? Would you like to see Keanu Reeves in a Marvel Studios role as Shang-Chi? Would it create too many issues? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

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

Keanu Reeves latest film, John Wick: Chapter 3, is now in theaters everywhere.

Venom is now available on Digital HD, 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, and DVD.
