Marvel Studios already announced that there will be a continuation of its box office hit SHANG-CHI: THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS. Marvels Studios successes in the past few years however does come with a price, with so many of its films are in the works (Deadpool 3, Captain America 4 ... etc.) for sequels some may take several years to complete and that includes the second installment of their film SHANG-CHI. Rumors say the earliest we could see this film is going to be sometimes in 2025. As of now Destin Daniel Cretton is still the only known person assigned to the project as writer and director.

THE NEW PLOT

No official plot has been released yet about the new film but speculations say we could probably see Chang-Chi's sister Xialing being in focus as she was supposed to be shutting down her dad's terrorizing organization but seems she has opted for the ten rings for her own use. We yet to hear from Marvel for the official story but for now that seems one of the best scenarios for a new story.

Marvel is also expected to bring be most of the main cast with the only member who's not likely to return is Wenwu (Tony Leung), partly because he died and partially because his arc was done by the movie's end.

While Shang-Chi 2 is confirmed, there's been little in the way of hard news around the sequel to Simu Liu's MCU debut, though The Direct did report in February 2023 that Shang-Chi 2 is allegedly now on Marvel Studio's production calendar. It's not listed on Marvel's current MCU Phase 5 and 6 lineup, although it may be one of the "secret" unconfirmed projects attached to a handful of unannounced MCU movies in 2024 and 2025.

Shang-Chi 2 is happening, though little is known about the anticipated MCU movie and its potential release date, story, or returning cast. Shang-Chi was one of the first characters Marvel Studios planned to introduce when plans for what became the MCU began in the mid-2000s. Unfortunately, it wasn't until 2021 that Shang-Chi finally managed to get his own solo film on the big screen, but Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings formally introduced Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) to the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline in a big way — one which more than creates room for the impending Shang-Chi 2.
