ASIAN FLAVOURS

Flag-bearers of the continent in the MCU

KINGO

Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani) is not of this planet, but his Bollywood dance moves, his delight, the way he says dishoom when killing a foe in the forest, all add sparkle to Marvel’s tepid Eternals.

SHANG-CHI

In Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings, we meet a Chinese protagonist who transforms from martial arts master to assassin, then to a valet driver, and, finally, to a superhero.

WONG

Wong is many things—Sorcerer Supreme, protector of the New York Sanctum and librarian of Kamar-Taj—but you might only remember the Nepalese hero as Doctor Strange’s sidekick.
