Closer look at the Abomination redesign in Shang Chi

Previously featured in The Incredible Hulk, the Abomination returns in Shang Chi with a redesigned appearance drawing inspiration from the comics. 

"This looks like a character they hadn’t seen in many years named The Abomination, fighting a character that looks like Wong. And I can say that the reason it looks like that is because that is Abomination fighting Wong." - Kevin Feige

 

While the redesign does make the character look closer to the comics, personally I feel the intimidation factor has been lowered, making the character appear more goofy and less threatening. Hopefully this will not be the case in the film. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is set for release on September 3rd 2021.
