Speculation about which actors of Chinese heritage Marvel Studios is casting to take up the new hero character, Shang-Chi, has lit up social media since last Saturday. The production of the film is expected to begin in January. While the date of its big screen debut has not been announced yet, let’s see who are the potential candidates for the role.

1. Eddie Peng

Eddie Peng Yu-yan is a Taiwanese-Canadian actor, singer and model. He is popular among Chinese-language showbiz fans. He is called the “national husband” by his female fans. No stranger to top billing many action films – such as tai chi 0, tai chi Hero, Rise of the Legend, My Bodyguard Call of Heroes, Wu Kong – Peng is a capable and competitive candidate for the cast of the new Marvel hero.

He is admired for his good looks and strong build, as well as his inspiring life experience and efforts at self-enhancement, which have helped turn him into a star.

Peng takes every role seriously and undergoes intensive training for whatever the part demands. He devoted more than 10 hours of gymnastics training each day for eight months preparing for the film Jump Ashin! and he earned a professional cycling certification after seven hours of daily training for For the Fore.

His determination and persistence and the mentality that anything is possible earns him a heroic halo.
