What This Means For Vision Quest
The Ten Rings Are Likely Connected To The Spinoff
Raza’s unexpected return inVision Questindicates that the Ten Rings will have an important role to play in theWandaVisionspinoff. Even though Raza has not appeared sinceIron Man, he was mentioned in aShang-Chi deleted flashback scenein which Wenwu (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) mentions a meeting with Raza. This may have been planting the seeds for the character to return and to represent the Ten Rings in a future MCU project.

Not only couldVision Questfeature Raza, but itcould also feature Xu Xialing (Meng’er Zhang) and show how the Ten Rings have evolvedsinceShang-Chi’s post-credits scenethat revealed her to now be in charge of the organization. The Ten Rings could be the primary antagonist for Vision, although it seems like a strange choice, and that a more technological foe like Ultron would be a more fitting foe, especially given how intertwined Ultron is with Vision’s creation. Regardless, Raza’s return has the Ten Rings poised to return in a major way inVision Quest.

FromIron MantoScandal, Tahir’s performances are always memorable, no matter how small or large his part proves to be.
