01Biography
Shang-Chi holds the Ten Rings, which remain the least explained major artefact in the franchise. His own film ended on a deliberate cliffhanger about what they are and who noticed him using them, and nothing since has answered it.
That makes him a structurally useful presence in Doomsday: a hero carrying a power source nobody has accounted for, in a film about universes bleeding into each other.
His involvement has been reported rather than announced. We badge it accordingly.
