The Marvel Cinematic Universe film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) replaces Fu Manchu with Xu Wenwu (Tony Leung), an primary character partly impressed by Zheng Zu and the Mandarin thus downplaying yellow peril implications as Wenwu is opposed by an Asian superhero, his son Shang-Chi (Simu Liu), relatively than Tony Stark, though omitting references to the Fu Manchu character.
