Shang-Chi 2: Was the film canceled by Marvel Studios?
It's been more than three years since the great Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings hit theaters in September 2021.
With so much success, even in 2021, Marvel wasted no time and announced Shang-Chi 2, envisioning the possibility of a new successful franchise with the character.
However, after its announcement in 2021, Shang-Chi's sequel has not received good news. For example, Destin Daniel Cretton, director of the original and who would also direct Shang-Chi 2, has now been announced as the director of Spider-Man 4.
The new Spider-Man film will begin filming in 2025 and be released in 2026, which means that, if Shang-Chi 2 still happens, production is still a long way from starting.
No continuation?
According to journalist Jeff Sneider, Destin was asked to direct Spider-Man 4 because Marvel halted production on the Shang-Chi sequel.
Furthermore, the journalist also reported that there is no indication that production will resume. It is worth remembering that Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, brought a new mandate to focus only on big hits. Could it be that, like Eternals 2, the new Shang-Chi film will also be shelved?
Well, recently actor Simu Liu has been saying in several interviews that a sequel to Shang-Chi will still happen. Let's hope the actor is right, but it's strange that three years later there still isn't even a release date.
If you follow me and comment "SHANG-CHI" I'll answer a fun fact about the character for you.
