‘Shang-Chi’ Disney Plus release delayed, but Marvel has a big surprise

[Chris Smith]

Disney CEO Bob Chapek called the theatrical release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings “an experiment” ahead of the film’s premiere. This was about a month ago. Studios found themselves having to decide whether or not to delay some of their late 2021 attractions, send them to streaming simultaneously, or proceed with normal theatrical releases. Coronavirus cases have been increasing steadily all summer long, but Shang-Chi performed very well at the box office. The second MCU film of the year is nearing the performance of Black Widow, which got a day-and-date release in theaters and on Disney Plus Premier Access.

Shang-Chi's performance confirmed that Disney should continue with theatrical launches for various other films this year, including Marvel’s Eternals. This development further gave fans hope that Spider-Man: No Way Home would make its December 17th release date. But Shang-Chi is going to stream on Disney Plus sooner than expected. And that’s not even the biggest Marvel surprise Disney has planned for the streaming service.
