“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” Marvel Studios’ first film to introduce a new character since 2019’s “Captain Marvel,” proves the Marvel Cinematic Universe still has legs post-“Avengers: Endgame” even with untested material.

Scooby-Doo and the crime-solving Mystery Inc. gang first debuted in 1969’s “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!” and have since gone on to star in 13 different animated series and dozens of direct to TV or DVD animated movies.
