Destin Daniel Cretton’s new role as the director of Spider-Man 4 has left many fans wondering about the fate of Shang-Chi 2. While the sequel was highly anticipated after the success of the first film, Cretton’s involvement in the Spider-Man franchise has raised questions about its potential release.
With the director juggling multiple projects, including Spider-Man 4 and the Naruto film, it’s uncertain when he’ll be able to focus on Shang-Chi 2. This has led to speculation that the sequel might face delays or even cancellation.



Despite the challenges, there’s still hope for Shang-Chi 2. Some fans believe that the sequel could be released in 2026, between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. However, this depends on Cretton’s schedule and the overall production timeline for the MCU.
If Shang-Chi 2 does face significant delays, there’s a possibility that the character could appear in other MCU projects. Simu Liu, the actor who plays Shang-Chi, has hinted at the character’s involvement in future films, including Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars.
While the future of Shang-Chi 2 remains uncertain, fans can still look forward to seeing the character in other MCU projects. As the MCU continues to expand, there’s always a chance that Shang-Chi 2 will eventually make it to the screen.
