Shang-Chi 2 Delayed as Marvel's Plans Keep Falling Apart

After the Infinity Saga came to an end with Avengers: Endgame in 2019, the deck was effectively cleared for the MCU to get weirder and highlight some fresh, young faces. While that’s happened to some extent in the form of pleasant surprises like Ms. Marvel or Moon Knight, things have been fairly shaky for the franchise from Phase Four onward, and it doesn’t look like that’ll be changing anytime soon.

Recently, Shang-Chi & the Ten Rings star Simu Liu did an AMA over on Meta’s hot new platform Threads. Naturally, Liu was asked about the status of his second solo movie (currently just known as Shang-Chi 2) and he plainly stated that its release status is presently up in the air. It was originally meant to follow an Avengers movie, but because that “keeps pushing back due to circumstances beyond my control,” it leaves the state of his own movie in flux. And since both Avengers: Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars were respectively pushed to May 2026 and May 2027 last month, that means there’ll be a five or six-year gap between Shang’s titular films.
