Shang-Chi's MCU Phase 5 & 6 Future Addressed By Simu Liu
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu addresses his MCU future in the recently-announced Phases 5 and 6. Released last year, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings acts as an introduction for Liu's character, telling the story of how he confronts his past and embraces a new future as a superhero. The film was a hit with both audiences and critics and it didn't take long for Marvel to green-light Shang-Chi 2, with both Liu and director Destin Daniel Cretton returning.
As part of Marvel's San Diego Comic-Con panel last week, the curtain was finally pulled back, revealing what projects fans can expect in the next few years as part of Phase 5 and Phase 6. In addition to Captain America: New WorldOrder, Blade, and Daredevil: Born Again, it was announced that two of the biggest MCU movies ever are coming out in 2026 in the form of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. While little is known about the two new Avengers projects and many of the other movies and shows in Phases 5 and 6, the projects are all part of what is being dubbed «The Multiverse Saga.» Unfortunately for those eager for Shang-Chi 2, the panel didn't provide any update on the anticipated sequel.
