Overview

  • Four years after Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, a promised standalone sequel still lacks a production start or release date.
  • Simu Liu posted a neutral-face emoji reacting to the newly announced Superman: Man of Tomorrow, a gesture widely read as commentary on Marvel’s slower pace.
  • Director Destin Daniel Cretton’s work on Spider-Man: Brand New Day is cited in reporting as a key reason progress on a Shang-Chi sequel appears paused.
  • Liu is confirmed to appear in Avengers: Doomsday, which is currently filming and slated to open on December 18, 2026.
  • The mid-credits ‘beacon’ mystery tied to the Ten Rings remains unresolved, with coverage suggesting Avengers: Doomsday is the likeliest venue for an answer.
