Yeah a character from Iron man 3 shows up and plays a side roll, but you don't need to have seen iron man 3 to get what he's doing. The only thing you'll miss is some of the comedic references.

No, even that Iron Man 3 thing is a minor character cameo

The Incredible Hulk, Dr Strange, and Iron Man 3 but none of them are actually important and all of them were before endgame.

There's also Captain Marvel

It's a lot to ask someone to go watch 6-8 hours of movies for minor references.

I disagree that Dr Strange and Iron Man 3 contain only minor references but I said they aren't important.

Iron Man 3 and the All Hail The King short would be the only things I'd suggest, and if you remember IM3's Mandarin twist then you're golden. AHTK isn't necessary really but it's a fun set up for some stuff in Shang-Chi

Because Endgame was the natural stopping point for us. Anything following wasnt going to live up to that hype.

WandaVision and Loki are both really good though, should at least consider it.

The short answer is no - you could go in having seen zero Marvel movies.

Endgame being a jumping off point will always be strange to me, comics never began or ended with Thanos but to each their own

I'll tell you what you need to know

Iron Man 3: There's this guy named the Mandarin who is bombing places and releasing videos calling out people (the president/Iron Man). Eventually Iron Man finds the Mandarin only to find out it's just some actor named Trevor Slattery. He was hired by another villain who Iron Man defeated. Trevor is thrown in jail

All Hail The King: Someone goes to the jail to capture Trevor, they say someone didn't like using the Mandarin's name and using his organization "The Ten Rings" in their videos

That's all we know going into shang chi. It's really not that big
