The sequel to Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was announced a few months after the release of the first film.
but Kevin Feige didn’t mention it at either Comic-Con or D23, so the release date wasn’t. still officialized. The moderators of Marvel Studios Spoilers on Reddit, however, claim to have discovered it thanks to some sources deemed “reliable”.
Well, it seems that the sequel – still untitled – will hit American theaters on February 14, 2025 , almost three months ahead of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty . Charles Murphy also supported this indiscretion:
