A excessive level was was Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, though there’s been no information about its deliberate sequel. And after James Gunn revealed Superman‘s sequel Man of Tomorrow was already on the best way, Shang-Chi actor Simu Liu seemingly threw some shade at Marvel.
Followers have waited years to see Liu return in upcoming Marvel motion pictures, which can lastly occur subsequent 12 months as he is a part of the Avengers: Doomsday forged. Sadly, there’s been no information about Shang-Chi 2, regardless of Liu’s continued ardour for the sequel. Lately a fan on Twitter shared pleasure for Superman‘s sequel, posting:
I genuinely do not keep in mind the final time a superhero film had a sequel turnaround this quick
I imply, factors had been made. Even when superhero sequel are inexperienced lit, it often takes years of growth, writing and (ultimately taking pictures). DC co-CEO James Gunn confirmed Superman: Man of Tomorrow‘s script is already finished, and it has been given a launch date. The above remark prompted Simu Liu to share his personal emoji response to the information, test it out under:
😐
I imply, are you able to blame him? Whereas Liu is lastly attending to swimsuit again up as Shang-Chi in Doomsday, seeing how briskly superhero sequels can come collectively have to be maddening for the 36 year-old actor. So why cannot his burgeoning franchise get the identical remedy? In spite of everything, Simu Liu has been holding in superhero form for years.
What we find out about Shang-Chi 2 is principally nothing, as Kevin Feige and the powers that be at Marvel have been busy with different tasks. Whereas director Destin Daniel Cretton is predicted to return, the studio is first going to make use of his abilities on Spider-Man: Model New Day, which is filming now.
Along with his emoji Liu as soon as once more confirmed how pissed off he’s with the shortage of progress on Shang-Chi 2.

Hopefully that’ll change sooner moderately than later.
This lack of ahead motion can be irritating for followers, particularly those that need some solutions after Shang-Chi’s credit scene. In it we noticed Wong seem and convey the title character into a gathering with Captain Marvel and Bruce Banner after the Ten Rings had been working as a homing beacon for an unknown entity.
