SHANG-CHI Sequel Officially In The Works As Director Destin Daniel Cretton Signs New Marvel Studios Deal

This probably won't come as too much of a surprise after the first movie performed so well at the box office ($224.5M domestic and $431.9M global), but Deadline has now confirmed that a sequel to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is officially in development at Marvel Studios.

Director Destin Daniel Cretton will return to helm the project as part of an exclusive multi-year overall deal with Disney companies Marvel Studios and Hulu’s Onyx Collective. The filmmaker is also said to be working on a new MCU-set Disney+ series, but we don't know if it'll have anything to do with Shang-Chi or focus on a new character entirely.

“Working on Shang-Chi with Kevin and the Marvel Studios team was one of the highlights of my life, and I couldn’t be more excited about Tara’s vision for Onyx Collective. I can’t wait to explore new stories and build new worlds with this community,” said Cretton.

“Destin is an amazing collaborator who brought a unique perspective and skill to Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings. We had a fantastic time working together on the film and he has so many intriguing ideas for stories to bring to life on Disney+, so we’re thrilled to expand our relationship with him and can’t wait to get started,” said Marvel Studios CCO Kevin Feige.

“Destin is a powerhouse storyteller with impeccable taste in material. As we continue to expand our roster, Destin’s unique voice will help usher in an exciting slate of content for our global audience,” added Tara Duncan, President, Freeform & Onyx Collective.

No word on returning cast members, but we assume Simu Liu (Shang-Chi) and Awkwafina (Katy), at the very least, will reprise their respective roles.

We'll update you as soon as we learn more, but for now, let us know what you make of this news in the comments.

Shang-Chi, Iron Fist, Fin Fang Foom.

Throw in Colleen and Misty for the third Vs Steel Serpent or Midnight Sun or Moving Shadow.

I hope that D+ series involves the Ten Rings Organization. I'd like to see how Xialing runs the whole operation. As for the sequel, I hope it builds on the strengths of the first film. I knew nothing about Shang-Chi and was pleasantly surprised with the movie.

Was always coming. I enjoyed Shang Chi so much. Close to Winter Solider in quality of Marvel films in my book

@BlackBeltJones -
I hope they answer lingering questions about the Ten Rings in the next films, such as why Wenwu wanted a Jericho missile.

@Darkknight2149 - yes the inner workings of the group and how she plans to change it.

She probably needs to root out other factions he has across the globe
