A new deal has been announced that Destin Daniel Cretton, the filmmaker of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and Disney’s Marvel Studios and Hulu’s Onyx Collective in order to produce a new Disney+ MCU series. With this announcement, it was also confirmed that Daniel Cretton will be returning to direct the sequel to Shang-Chi, which he will also write, as reported by Deadline.
The deal was made after the big success of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings starring Simu Liu, Michelle Yeoh, Awkwafina, and Tony Leung. Shang-Chi was the Marvel Studios film led by an Asian actor and Asian cast. The sequel will join the ever-expanding Marvel content library that will be coming out in the next few years.
