First up, after Marvel Studios debuted the first trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, ScreenCrush has put together a video running through nearly four dozen Easter eggs and comic book references that you might have missed.

It just so happens that the town's mayor is Óskar Óskarsson, and he's hoping that they'll be able to bring Oscar home in order to draw more attention to their little place in the world.
Finally, Netflix had Thunder Force cast member Taylor Mosby takes you on a tour of the set of the superhero comedy starring Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer.
