Marvel is officially moving ahead with Shang-Chi 2 as director Destin Daniel Cretton signs on for both a sequel and a new Marvel original series on Disney+.
Earlier this year, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings proved to be a box office superhero by bringing fans back to theaters at a crucial time and raking in more than $432-million worldwide to date. Now, Marvel is officially moving forward with a sequel to Shang-Chi. Deadline is reporting that director Destin Daniel Cretton has signed a multiyear overall deal with Disney and Hulu’s Onyx Collective that includes both Shang-Chi 2 and a new Marvel Studios series on Disney+. Cretton is also launching his own production company, Family Owned, which will “focus on building a slate of projects in film and TV that highlight the experiences of communities that have traditionally been overlooked by pop culture.” “Destin is an amazing collaborator who brought a unique perspective and skill to Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings,” said Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige in a statement.
