        Cretton is the writer and director of Shang-Chi. He was attached to direct Avengers:Doomsday back in 2022 (when it was still Kang) and stepped down “in order to focus on Shang-Chi 2”, we were told.

          My hope was that Avengers was Shang-Chi focused. While working on Avengers it became too Shang-Chi focused so they said, let’s just make this movie Shang-Chi 2, then we can have a more even Avengers.

          Of course with this news…

          But maybe they can weave him back in?

      I bet Shang-Chi is going to be the contractually-mandated MCU character to appear in Spider-Man 4.

      They’re probably reworking the Shang-Chi 2 script to be a Spider-Man movie featuring Shang-Chi.
