Marvel’s Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings was an enormous hit, and one which explicitly positioned star Simu Liu as one of many new huge heroes of the MCU. And but, regardless of director Destin Daniel Cretton promising that a sequel is on the way in which, we haven’t heard a lot from Shang-Chi or the Ten Rings these days. Still, Liu says it’s going to occur sooner or later, it simply retains getting delayed.
Liu shared that data on Threads, the most recent social media platform run by a repellent billionaire (by way of The Hollywood Reporter), telling a fan that he was initially advised that the Shang-Chi sequel would “observe Avengers” (presumably The Kang Dynasty and/or Secret Wars, introduced at San Diego Comic-Con final yr), however he stated that “retains pushing again resulting from circumstances past my management.”
Those circumstances presumably embrace the WGA strike and the assorted accusations towards Jonathan Majors—who performed variations of Kang in Loki and Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania, setting him up as the primary villain of this story arc—each of which have made it tough for Marvel to do a lot of something. Of course, if Disney and the remainder of the Alliance Of Motion Picture And Television Producers have been prepared to provide the placing writers the cash and respect they deserve, together with much-needed safety towards horrible AI bullshit devaluing their work, they might clear up a type of issues fairly simply.
Shang-Chi got here out in 2021, so it’s not prefer it’s been an agonizingly very long time, but when anybody actually misses the man, Liu has been teasing that Shang-Chi will present up some place else quickly (assuming any new Marvel issues ever come out once more). Also, Liu is without doubt one of the Kens in Barbie, in order that must be enjoyable.
