I think with the opening weekend of the 1st film, I wouldn't eXpect not to get a sequel. I want the sequel to be released in 2024, 3 years after The Legend of the Ten Rings.
Haha, and they should have called the original film “Shang Chi 2”.Call me crazy but this is what I think the sequel should be called
"Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings"
Hear me out for a second. The movie did not spend any time explaining the origins of the Ten Rings or how Wen Wu got it. During the mid credit ending they hint that the the main subject that will be explored in a future film will be the actual Ten Rings of power that Wen Wu wields.
So it definitely feels like the title of the first film was mainly a reference to the organization that Wen Wu lead instead of the rings of power that he wore. I know they won't use the same title again but it sure feels like they could, hence my joke.
To be honest....
I didn't think that he would meet any actual Avengers until his second movie.
They should have just called the 1st movie "Shang-Chi". Its similar to Captain America. it had extra three words, and we didn't have a big budgeted Captain America at the time, for it not to be just called "Captain America".Call me crazy but this is what I think the sequel should be called

The title for this new movie is too long for a non sequel movie. I imagine Shang Chi 2 would have a long title as well. Shang-Chi and the Mystery of the Something Some Things.
The subtitle is very clear in marketing materials.Honestly I legitimately forgot the movie even had a subtitle until I read these posts.

Yeah, a lot of possibilities opening up with this success. The MCU versions can hopefully be much better than the Netflix versions (although Daredevil would be extremely difficult to improve on - I’d take a bare match there ).I would love to see him square off against a large number of the Hand. Perhaps a way to bring Elektra back (and you know, better).
Yeah it’s definitely something I love about the MCU. Exciting to think where he might appear.What I like about the MCU movies and the character crossovers is that by the time we get to a true sequel of a certain character, it’s most likely his/her 4th or 5th appearance on screen. Like how it is with Doctor Strange. I want the same with Shang-Chi. I want his sequel to be like his 4th or 5th on screen appearance (and crossover in a few MCU movies in between)

He didn't though. It was a hologram zoom call.
I expect Fin Fang Foom maybe another MCU hero to assist him in the movie. The 10 Rings org will still be involved due to family ties.
I'd still count it. But besides them, couldn't Wong technically be considered an Avenger now since he participated in both the New York battle in Infinity War and the final battle in Endgame?
Okay I looked this up and Xialing and Wenwu are amalgamation of the characters from the comiXs... but I wonder why they just didn't use those names rather creating a different name.I wouldn't mind Elektra as I would definitely prefer that over characters made for movies. Iirc Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings had 4...Katy, Xialing, Trevor and Wenwu. Though I'm not sure if Xialing and Wenwu eXisted in the comiXs.
I think they wanted to focus on developing Shang and repair the Mandarin image. I guess they could have went with Fang instead of the Dweller since Fang is probably not as known to casual fans. It would have felt like Dormammu in that I wanted a bit more of him in the movie once he was revealed. If they use Fang Foom in the sequel as a sole villain they can have more time, it is a big dragon like monster so not a lot of time but some.Should've used Fin Fang Foom in this movie.
