Wonder what this means for Shang-Chi 2….

Still so much better than directing **Naruto** under Avi Arad. Cretton NEEDS to get far, Far, FAR away from that blatant has-been.

That’s a good choice

Lmao Shang Chi 2 ain’t happening. If filming starts early next year the casting should start this fall. Wonder what new characters they will get to surround Holland with.
Let’s hope this isn’t another Multiverse story.. I want a more grounded street level Spidey movie.

Strange choice. Shang-Chi wasn’t that good of a movie. It was kind of boring, actually.

The action sequences will be top tier in the film. It’s not surprising they ended up in-house talent for Spiderman honestly. But good for him, I wonder how far down the road naruto is compared to Spiderman 4

I swear, didn’t he drop out of doing Avengers The Kang Dynasty to focus on Shang-Chi 2?

Seems like kind of a boring choice honestly. Shang Chi was a resounding “meh”. With how big the Spidey IP is, I’d have hoped they’d go for someone with a bit more talent and/or experience.

Also the confirmation of this filming early next year basically confirms that it’ll release July 2026.

Maybe it could be a SpiderMan/Shang-Chi movie? 🤷♂️

So much for “focusing on Shang-Chi 2”, but he’s still a great choice for director!
Anyway, pick ain’t bad. Action sequences will be top tier, at least. But I can’t help but worry that they’re gonna milk him like they did Watts, effectively convincing him to jump ship just as *Shang Chi 2* finally gets started.

Great news for Spider-Man, bad news for Shang Chi. I just hope they put him in other projects as a co-lead or supporting character. I loved the first film.

…Great timing here, DisMarvel and Sony. [Just impeccable.](https://deadline.com/2024/09/james-earl-jones-dead-1236082801/)
