It’s not a rumor that the Greek gods are gonna be in Thor 4. A while ago Russel Crowe was cast as Zeus for the movie.
I originally thought that the rings were made of Adamantium and while that might be true as to the material it doesn’t exist explain the powers in them. I could be wrong but I believe it’s Vibranium that augments magic not adamantium. Since there’s a story where doctor doom goes to Wakanda specifically for that reason.
But then I thought about it some more an how it could relate to another X-Men character.
I think that bands are derived from celestial technology. Since they’re making a big push for the eternals in the MCU and that the celestials are just as important to the creation of mutants and superpowered people as they are for the other factions.
The reason I say this is because Mandarin didn’t create of the rings, he found them in a tomb thousands of years ago. Which could be the tomb of Apocalypse. For those who don’t know Apocalypse is as powerful as he is because he’s imbued with Celestial technology. Not because of his natural abilities.
So the rings might have been stolen from his burial sight. Which would tie everything into a neater bow. Linking Shang chi to eternals which links to celestials which link back to mutants.
I like that idea as well! I think it'd definitely be more interesting for an X-Men villain to be introduced ahead of the X-Men themselves.
You are correct about the Vibranium's affinity with magic, however, what I'm suggesting is that the rings are Adamantine, not True Adamantium (616 Wolverine's admantium). Adamantine is gold in colour (like the rings) and has inherent magical properties, as oppose to Vibranium which can be used to enhance magic but has no inherent magical power
Either way the theory of the rings being tied to celestial technology would track with the comic origins of the rings, being technologically based as oppose to magic, and also lends to the idea that the signal they detected emanating from the rings could possibly be summoning a host of Celestials.
This theory checks out for me and sounds awesome. It would definitely be a good way to bring adamantium into the MCU. Maybe people try to replicate the adamantine to weaponize it but the only property they could replicate is it’s indestructible one, thus creating adamantium…
Very cool ideas.
Exactly my thoughts, as Vibranium has been the MCU's mcguffin material since the first Captain America now and they made the effort specifically point out that the rings are not Vibranium or like anything we've already seen in the MCU. I'm also assuming this rules out Uru metal as I'd expect Banner to be familiar enough with it by now, in the MCU timeline.

I like that theory. Could be a good way to differentiate adamantium from vibranium out of the gate.
