Production is ramping up on Marvel Studios’ newest film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and according to a new report a Creed 2 star has joined the cast.
According to Dark Horizons, their source has informed them that Florian Munteanu has joined the cast in a “secondary villain” role. The site didn’t report additional details on the character as its being kept under wraps as does most character details for Marvel based films/series.
Dark Horizons Editor-In-Chief, Garth Franklin who wrote the report is based out of Australia where production is taking place, and has been in this industry a long time, so we trust this news, though Marvel/Disney have yet to comment as of now.
A report surfaced last year, that other key Shang-Chi villains such as Tiger Claw, Moving Shadow, Razor-Fist, and Ghost Maker could appear in the film in an underground fight tournament, which suits Munteanu as he himself is a professional boxer.
