According to Marvel star Simu Liu, he doesn’t know when Shang-Chi 2 will happen however, he hopes he’s in The Kang Dynasty. It’s been a few years now since we had Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. For me, it was one of the better received Phase 4 movies. A sequel is inevitable and rumors have said that it may come before, or after Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, which was of course moved back recently.
When Liu spoke to Men’s Health recently to promote his upcoming Barbie movie, talk inevitably turned to Marvel. Liu says he doesn’t yet know when the sequel will film, but he’s content to wait for the call. He is pretty sure that he is in The Kang Dynasty though, which will be directed by Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton.
“Yeah, I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be in it too. Beyond that, I really don’t know, and I don’t want to know before it’s absolutely ready. If there’s anything I’ve learned in this industry, especially with Marvel, it’s that things are changing, always in flux, and you really can’t be sure that something is going to happen until you’re on set and you’re about to do the scene. Even then, scenes get reshot, things get retooled, elements get added in post-production with visual effects and everything. So in between, it’s been a really fulfilling journey for me to get to do projects like Barbie—which are separate from that identity of Shang-Chi—and to really get to spread my wings as an artist.”

“But if and when that call comes in… of course, a sequel is going to happen. Of course, Kang Dynasty is going to happen. When that call comes, I will happily show up, read whatever I need to read, do whatever I need to prepare. But until then, I think the less I know the better.”
Personally, I would prefer to see a sequel to Shang-Chi before we get to The Kang Dynasty. The gang were connected into the wider cosmological side of the MCU by the time the movie’s end. I kinda want to see where that goes.
So, according to Marvel star Simu Liu, he doesn’t know when Shang-Chi 2 will happen. However, he hopes he’s in The Kang Dynasty. What do you think of Liu’s comments? Share below.
