It's been a week since Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings first arrived in theaters, and that's given us plenty of time to think about what could come next for the characters and ideas introduced in the movie. This may be an origin story for the hero, but in typical Marvel Studios style, the stage has already been set for some big future projects that could be a game-changer for this shared world.

Those extend beyond just this franchise, though, and Shang-Chi becoming part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe means the door has been opened to a lot of unexpected new ideas and places.

In this feature, we're taking a look at the key ways Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings lays the groundwork for the future on both the big screen and Disney+. From where the story could head next in a sequel to wider ramifications for the MCU, we're covering all the bases for you here. 

So, to find out what might be on the horizon, all you guys need to do is click on the "Next" button!
 

5. We've Been To Ta-Lo...Is K'un-Lun Next?

We've learned that Ta-Lo exists in some sort of pocket dimension, and if that concept sounded familiar to you while watching Shang-Chi, we're sure you know about K'un-Lun.

One of the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven, it's also where the wielder of the Iron Fist gains their powers. Danny Rand is in desperate need of the reboot treatment following that TV series on Netflix, and while Ta-Lo isn't one of the aforementioned capital cities in the comic books, something tells us that could be changed for the MCU.

If so, we could be building to the Tournament of the Heavenly Cities, in which each city sends their best warrior, all of whom are members of the Immortal Weapons. That would be an epic way to reinvent Iron Fist, but it's also possible Marvel Studios has something else planned before that...

@Waddles - As each strike hits, if you draw blood, the name of the move splatters onto the screen in gory plasma.

Yes, Bruce Banner was human again but he looked Hell a lot better then Iron-Man and Thanos did who is also dead. Banner's face and arm were completely healed in the sling but in She-Hulk we have already seen Mark Ruffalo wearing his Mo-cap Hulk suit.

I feel confident Bruce Banner will change into a new version of the Hulk and leave Professor Hulk behind.

Hulk in Endgame looked even pretty good charging with all the Avengers.

@DoubleD - I wouldn't be surprised if this was a mistake like how Giant-Man is running in the background when Scott lang is supposed to be inside the van at the same time.
