1990s Jason Scott Lee

... With his Mowgli hairstyle would have been perfect for Shang-Chi. Which makes sense since he played Bruce Lee, and Shang-Chi was created as Marvel's Bruce Lee. Jason would have been Shang straight off the comic page.

I never have understood what happened to Jason Scott Lee. He had a brief period of popularity and then he just disappeared.

He had Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, Jungle Book and Solider, and then just became a direct-to-video guy who works occasionally.

Well, Soldier was a big flop at the box office;cost $60M and only made $14M worldwide.

Yeah. I enjoyed it though. That film is underrated and deserves more praise than it's gotten

Besides, you can't blame JSL for its failure. He wasn't even the star.

Funnily enough (interestingly enough), an old Marvel studio head confirmed that Brandon Lee himself was once in talks with none other than Stan Lee to star as Shang-Chi in a film or tv series. Those talks ultimately didn’t go anywhere, though I definitely believe Bruce’s own son would have been a perfect (more suitable) choice. But the relationship aside, Brandon had both the acting and martial arts skills to knock it out of the park. If not him though, then Jason Scott Lee would’ve been a good choice.

Regardless, very pleased this grand film happened when it did. The mighty cool Simu Liu was perfection. Oh, and obligatory usual boring detractors (mainly the bigot red pee cons, duh) be damned.
