“Destin is an amazing collaborator who brought a unique perspective and skill to Shang-Cho and The Legend of the Ten Rings. We had a fantastic time working together on the film and he has so many intriguing ideas for stories to bring to life on Disney+, so we’re thrilled to expand our relationship with him and can’t wait to get started,” said Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios.

Freeform and Onyx Collective President Tara Duncan added, “Destin is a powerhouse storyteller with impeccable taste in material. As we continue to expand our roster, Destin’s unique voice will help usher in an exciting slate of content for our global audience.”

Starring Simu Liu, Awkwafina, Tony Leung, and Michelle Yeoh, Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings was the first MCU movie with a Chinese superhero in the lead and a mostly Asian cast. Cretton and his team didn’t dumb it down either for English-speaking audiences, with a large portion of Shang-Chi being in Mandarin. Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings is Marvel’s best-reviewed movie of 2021 and the most successful too at the global box office with a total close to $432 million (Rs. 3254 crores).

Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings is now streaming on Disney+ and Disney+Hotstar and is available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada languages.
