Shang-Chi’s Razor Fist Actor Wants To Fight MCU’s Wolverine

[ad_1]

Shang-Chi’s Florian Munteanu wants to see Razor Fist fight Wolverine in a future MCU project and dig deeper into the emotional side of his character.

Razor Fist actor Florian Munteanu from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings recently discussed where he’d like to see his character go in a sequel and his desire to fight the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Wolverine. The German-Romanian actor, who made a name for himself as a heavyweight boxer, made the transition into acting in Creed 2, where he played the son of Ivan Drago. Now he’s become a part of Hollywood’s biggest franchise, as his character Razor Fist was featured heavily in Shang-Chi earlier this year.

Munteanu’s Razor Fist was a fun cartoony addition to Shang-Chi, as the character’s sword arm made him an entertaining goon for Simu Liu’s character to fight. Razor Fist was crucial to the phenomenal bus fight sequence in the film’s opening act, and each of his subsequent appearances in the film established the character as a formidable henchman working for Wenwu. The film ends with Razor Fist alive and well still at the Ten Rings compound, but now he works for Shang-Chi’s sister Xialing who took over the organization after her father.

In a new interview with CBM, Munteanu was asked about what he’d like to see happen with the character in a Shang-Chi sequel. The actor said that he thinks there are a lot of stories to be told with the character, and that he’d like to dig deeper into the emotional side of Razor Fist. He also expresses a desire to see the character cross paths and duke it out with Wolverine. His full response reads:

“Oh, that’s a tough question. That’s a tough question, bro. First of all, I’m not giving too much away with this is that I feel like I want to show the emotional side of Razor Fist. I feel like there’s a lot behind the mask, behind that physique, it’s a guy who has a lot of heart and who definitely has a background story that is interesting to tell, so I want to go into depth with that, showing that he’s more than just a soldier, even though we see values like loyalty, he sticks to the end with Wenwu, until he realizes that, okay, he has no other choice but joining the other party, so they make it out alive. There are a lot of values there, I feel like family is very important to him and the Ten Rings became his family, so it would be interesting to see how he got there and what was all the story around that, how he lost the arm.

There is so much to tell with this character, as you know, in the comic books, he has two blades and a beautiful matchup, and fans are sending me stuff from the comic books where Razor Fist actually meets Wolverine, which I think would be a cool matchup, blade against blade. That sounds awesome to me, so I feel like there’s a lot of potential.”

At this point, neither Wolverine nor Razor Fist’s future in the MCU is known. As mentioned above, Razor Fist is still working for the Ten Rings under Xialing, so he could possibly appear in a Disney+ show or Shang-Chi 2. Marvel is working to introduce the X-Men to the MCU, but even when that happens, there’s no telling if Wolverine will be included. Hugh Jackman is synonymous with the character, so the studio will no doubt have trouble finding a replacement for him. For that reason, the X-Men may need to be fully established in the MCU before Wolverine is introduced.

Though Razor Fist wasn’t the most crucial character to the overall story of Shang-Chi, he is a character that is ripe for more exploration in a sequel or TV show. Exploring more of the Ten Rings organization could be a great idea for a Disney+ mini-series, which could also devote an entire episode to Razor Fist. A Shang-Chi deleted scene recently revealed that the character was supposed to die in the film, so that suggests Marvel may have plans for Razor Fist in future MCU projects.
