Marvel fans can rejoice in the fact that a sequel of Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings [1] is happening at Disney+. The news comes after filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton secured a multi-year overall [2] deal with Disney's Marvel Studios and Hulu's Onyx Collective, which also gives him the chance to develop TV projects — including a MCU series that's already in development for Disney+. Cretton will continue on as the director and writer of the forthcoming Marvel sequel film.

"Destin is an amazing collaborator who brought a unique perspective and skill to Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings," said Marvel Studios President and Chief Creative Officer, Kevin Feige. "We had a fantastic time working together on the film and he has so many intriguing ideas for stories to bring to life on Disney+, so we're thrilled to expand our relationship with him and can't wait to get started."

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings arrived in theatres in September before it hit streaming on Disney+ [3] last month. The film follows the story of martial artist Shang-Chi [4] (played by Simu Liu [5]) — heir to the notorious Ten Rings organisation of assassins — as he confronts his father's legacy and the organisation's leader, Wenwu. It marks the first time an Asian actor has led a Marvel movie alongside a mostly Asian cast. At this time, it's unclear what the movie's sequel will entail, but more details are sure to come (hopefully sooner than later).
