Despite being announced over five years ago, Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton confirms the sequel is still in the works and has given a reason for the delay.
"We are developing a second one," said Cretton on Deadline's Crew Call Podcast, when asked what is going on with the upcoming movie. "What's going on is what went on with the entire industry." However, the filmmaker says that releasing the first film during the COVID-19 pandemic is to blame for the sequel taking so long to make.
