The director of Shang-Chi 2 is a fairly busy man nowadays, however its star has at the very least shared that the movie remains to be coming.
Destin Daniel Cretton has lots on his plate proper now. Since 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, he is largely been busy with TV outings, however within the subsequent few years he’ll actually have fairly a couple of movies popping out in a row. For one, there’s the but to be correctly titled Spider-Man 4, which simply caught a small delay, and on prime of that he is the one which’s helming the live-action Naruto film. Each are clearly going to be fairly huge (or at the very least Spider-Man will, jury’s nonetheless out on Naruto), however clearly a number of Shang-Chi followers wish to know the way its supposed sequel is getting alongside.
There’s not a concrete reply to that proper now, however in a current interview with ScreenRant, the titular Shang-Chi himself Simu Liu did at the very least affirm that some sort of progress is being made. Liu initially responded a bit uncertainly when requested about whether or not Shang-Chi 2 had been impacted in any respect by the truth that Cretton had taken on Spider-Man 4, which is ready to shoot this summer season, however the actor did at the very least have this to say when pressed on it: “I do not suppose something’s been impacted. I feel we’re all… I communicate to Destin usually and there is nothing popping out of each of us however pleasure to make this movie.”
Whereas not notably committal, it does at the very least counsel there’s one thing happening behind the scenes, although provided that Spider-Man 4 is ready to be launched July, 2026, and the Shang-Chi sequel is just actually confirmed to exist and that is about it, you’ll be able to in all probability safely place a wager on it not arriving for a couple of years but. I am positive Simu Liu is busy sufficient together with his stint on, uh, Dragon’s Den proper now anyway – oh, and who might neglect that Sleeping Canine film he is apparently growing and gearing as much as star in! Definitely not me.
