The MCU Can Fix Its Biggest Shang-Chi Sequel Mistake

April 29, 2026

Recent speculation has hinted at a new superhero team joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it may finally fix the mistake of not making a sequel to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton joined Marvel Studios in 2021 to direct Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which introduced Simu Liu to the MCU as the titular Master of Kung Fu. Five years later, however, we’re still waiting to see Shang-Chi back in action.
