I think it's fair to introduce Fin Fang Foom since a few dragons were appearing in the MCU.

When? Which movie?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Apart from the Comics and video games, Did Fin-Fang-Foom appear in 90s Ironman series and the Iron Man Armored Adventures? How long till we see that Dragon in the MCU?

[@madambutterfly1997]

I doubt they're going to introduce the Makulans into the MCU. The evidence of it is how they're trying to say that Miss Marvel's bracelet is similar to the ten rings suggesting that both were made by the Kree

Is Fin-Fang-Foom a very complicated character since he is either good or bad? Was it awesome to see Iron Man and the Mandarin teaming up to take him down?

@Variant Comics do you think that you can cover venom volume 5 issue 11 and 12?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Who do you think is the DC version of Marvel's Fin-Fang-Foom? Is Fin-Fang-Foom and the Makluans the most powerful Dragons in Marvel comics? What would happen if Fin_Fang_Foom fought against Ultimo? Can you do history of Marvel's Ultimo?

[@Basureitor]

So StarLord was right when he said that Foom may have go to the earth and inspired fairy tales about dragons (GoG game)

[@kiddankula5480]

They really did blue ball y'all with the dragon character

[@Elfos64]

The post-credit scene in Shang-Chi Legend of the Ten Rings pretty clearly set up the Makluans to be in the sequel, it would be terrible business sense to go backsies on that. I could think of like 8 good reasons why Fin Fang Foom should have been in the first Shang-Chi and even more so now in the sequel. 1. Not least of which is how closely tied he is to Mandarin's origin story, he's where Mandarin got the titular Ten Rings (AKA the source of his powers) from. Plus there's that Easter Egg of him in Iron Man 1 they're probably going to want to capitalize upon. 2. I heard that MCU is trying to put more focus on cosmic stuff, which means they're probably going to want to start more firmly establishing their alien races, including the dragon-like Makluans, especially given that the kaiju genre seems to be making something of a resurgence in Hollywood the last decade (I can name like a dozen Kaiju films that have come out to theaters in that time, and at least another dozen if you count non-theatrical releases and are a bit more flexible on the criteria to qualify as a Kaiju film, which I can also list). Disney isn't going to want to miss out on that if they think it'll be profitable, especially given how much source material Marvel has to adapt on that front. 3. Speaking of that front, Devil Dinosaur recently got an animated series. They're probably going to want to bring in Kaiju Kid at some point, but they couldn't until after they establish Fin Fang Foom given that he's one of Marvel's most notable Kaiju. Disney likes to introduce big name characters in the films before using them in the TV shows. When better to establish him? 4. Disney also loves merchandising. A character like Fin Fang Foom would be easy fodder to market, what kid wouldn't want an action figure of a Giant Alien talking Dragon (that can shapeshift)? Would also a Kaiju-themed attraction would be perfect for Disney World. Plus they're starting to realize villains need a bit more depth, Fin Fang Foom has a decent amount of nuance as an antagonist. He's not evil, he's just an elitist who prefers the chaos of war to the banality of peace- regardless of what purpose that fighting spirit serves. He can be reasoned with and even form temporary alliances, just don't think you're in charge. Mandarin made that mistake. 5. While Fin Fang Foom originated from just an anthology and mostly fought Iron Man when he returned, Iron Man isn't the only hero he's traded blows with. It's worth noting he has some history with Dr. Strange too, significant enough that there was a secret dialogue between them in the Marvel Ultimate Alliance video game. Will they go somewhere with that? Who knows? 6. He also has a connection with Thor... sort of. More specifically, there was a Thor comic where Jormungandr, the Midgard Serpent, disguised itself as Fin Fang Foom with its illusion magic. Jormungandr is a big part of Thor lore that the films have yet to touch upon. If they end up using Jormungandr in Thor 5 or its potential sequel, the opportunity to reference that comic would be too good to pass up. Pretty sure they've actually interacted at some point in the comics too, not just the illusionary disguise that wasn't actually him. 7. I remember hearing something about the director of Shang-Chi wanting to make the series an homage to classic Martial Arts films, not just a film with Martial Arts in it, something like in the vein of Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon. It would be a colossal missed opportunity to not use the actual dragon with direct connection to the titular 10 rings when you're homaging a film with Dragon in its name. 8. While his introduction film was a flop, there's significant rumors that Black Knight is going to have a significant role the MCU soon. I wouldn't put it past Disney to dip into the old "knight vs dragon" trope, would you? I don't recall them having any interaction in the comics, but the MCU isn't trying to be a direct adaption of the comics anyway, Whether Black Knight would actually be a fitting opponent for Fin Fang Foom kind of depends on which parts of Black Knight's lore they're using, but that's for later down the line.

[@Mate397]

Such a shame Marvel pussied out and made the Shang Chi movie so generic and China pandering (which failed epically) instead of giving us alien dragons, actually interesting and powerful rings and so on.

[@FlexStyleZ]

Fin Fang Foom should have been an Iron Man movie but MCU suits wanted thought it would be too comic-booky at the time

[@cdeleon3494]

I think he can now appear since more mystical / magical beings are now rampant in the MCU

[@Rhyman1992]

I don't know if I'm suffering from a Mandela effect but I could have sworn I read a graphic novel where this character and a whole bunch of other giant monsters were reading newspapers and giving social commentary. Am I tripping?

I wouldn't say that Fin Fang Foom is only a villain in the Marvel Universe. I always saw him more as an antihero or someone, who watches more and doesn't interact much with the heroes or villains, because he's been around a long time. That's just my opinion and everybody can have a different opinion after all.
