With regards to Asian superheroes, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has left a ton to be wanted. Quick to keep away from a kickback when portraying the generally generalized Mandarin supervillain in Iron Man 3, the studio keenly cast part-south Asian entertainer Ben Kingsley as a plastered English luvvie, Trevor Slattery, who was just truly assuming the part of Tony Stark's malicious foe. The lone issue was that this was another job not going to

At that point there were the Netflix Marvel TV shows, specifically Iron Fist. While simply approximately associated with the MCU, Iron Fist fell into the tricky "white friend in need" trap by giving Finn Jones a role as kung-fu-kicking New York rich child Danny Rand, a cliché white person who beats the Asian combative techniques specialists unexpectedly. Race-trading Rand would have been to withdraw from the line of the first comic book, yet that didn't stop the studio giving Tilda Swinton a role as a "Celtic" take on the generally Asian Ancient One in Doctor Strange.

Rather than Ben Kingsley as Slattery, we get the incomparable Tony Leung as Wenwu, AKA the genuine Mandarin, while the considerably more horribly bigoted figure of Fu Manchu (who was Shang-Chi's dad in the first, 70s Master of Kung Fu comic-book run) has been shrewdly exiled from sight.
