Shang-Chi Star Reacts to Chinese Fans Calling Him Too Ugly for the MCU
That left the third \"Guardians of the Galaxy\" film in limbo, with an unhappy cast and upset fans calling Disney to task for immediately caving to a politically-motivated echo chamber without considering the surrounding context. Good news quickly followed, however. Gunn signed on to reinvigorate the DC universe with \"The Suicide Squad\" and \"Peacemaker,\" which may not be Marvel, but are still unmissable hits. Further, in 2019, joint meetings between Gunn, Feige, and Disney president Alan Horn saw Gunn returnto the Marvel Cinematic Universe to wrap up his \"Guardians\" saga. It was an ugly situation, but at least we got some great films and TV shows in its wake.
Early trailers for \"Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness\" showed off a huge, tentacled beast wrecking the streets of New York. Accordingly, fans of Stephen Strange went wild, hoping that this was going to be the debut of Strange's longtime nemesis Shuma-Gorath, an eldritch horror inspired by Lovecraft. But then, leaked merchandise like T-shirts and LEGO kits started calling this gross cutie Gargantos. What was going on?
