Shang-Chi's Role in Avengers: Doomsday Uncertain After Major Overhaul

Marvel Studios reworks Avengers 5, replacing Kang with Doctor Doom, leaving Shang-Chi's involvement unclear.

Simu Liu's Shang-Chi was initially set to lead Avengers 5, originally titled The Kang Dynasty.
Jonathan Majors' legal issues led to his removal and the rebranding of the film to Avengers: Doomsday with Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.
Director Destin Daniel Cretton, known for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, was also replaced by the Russo brothers.
Shang-Chi 2 is confirmed but not yet scheduled for release, with Liu and Cretton still attached.
Fans express concern over Shang-Chi's diminished role in the evolving MCU landscape.
