 You're my next experiment! That's right! The culmination of my life's work. Striving tirelessly for years to develop an army of Kung Fu animals pays off tonight! Surely this will get me back into the Hand after that little Christmas party snafu! You see, Shang-Chi, I've tried to train animals. I've used dark arts, modern technology, and the best animal psychologists that didn't charge too much. None of it worked. You can lead a horse to Kung Fu, but you can't make him kick. That's not just a funny saying -- I wanted Kung Fu horses. 

—Dr. Mel Prasis

Solicit Synopsis

Shang-Chi’s Day Off Part 1 (OF 1)

The Marvel Universe is full of fighters: brawlers, scrappers, weapons experts, mystical kung fu virtuosi. But there’s only one martial artist skilled enough to be called the greatest. SHANG-CHI has been a pinch hitter for a long time, stepping in for Avengers missions when no one else would do, but when no one can match your speed or skill, sometimes it’s best to work alone. To see what you’ve been missing if you don’t know Shang-Chi, don’t miss MASTER OF KUNG FU!
