![]() Speaking of Simu Liu, he is naturally ecstatic and reacted to the news in disbelief. And I surely hope Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi gets in on the action. Regardless of how things pan out, we can all be assured of one thing: The Kang Dynasty will have some epic, kick-ass action choreography. With the deal done, I assume Cretton and Feige have been able to work out a pitch that would wreak Kang’s menace to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in a satisfying manner. That’s a lot for a single director to keep track of so I guess Shang-Chi 2 isn’t going to happen any time soon. Then there’s also the fact that Cretton will be helming Shang-Chi 2 while likely overseeing or keeping an eye out on certain other movies to study the portrayal of Kang. And I’m not sure how many characters we’ll be introducing in the next one. But I’m mainly excited to explore the characters more and their emotional journeys, and watch them grow and try to achieve things and fail, and see how they get themselves up out of the mud. Once we land on the story that we want to tell, it’ll define how many characters will enter that story. That’s definitely not a hope of mine. I don’t really aspire for one or the other. Here’s what Cretton had said last when interviewed about the prospect of directing an Avengers movie: Quite the opposite in fact, Cretton came across as a director who enjoyed helming movies with smaller stories and characters, so putting the responsibility of the biggest franchise-movie in Hollywood right now squarely on his shoulders is quite a turn of events. It’s also a bit perplexing because Cretton himself did not seem to have high hopes of ever directing an Avengers flick. He has now directed the most successful movie of Phase 4 and remains a relative unknown on a grander scale to work with Marvel, a studio that has traditionally stayed clear of mainstream, well-known directors for its ensemble flicks. Given the massive box-office success and positive reviews that Shang-Chi enjoyed, Cretton looks like a wise choice from a business standpoint. The news both, makes sense and is a bit perplexing. Days after revealing the titles of the next Avengers movies, the studio has announced the director for at least one of them.ĭestin Daniel Cretton who helmed Phase 4’s incredibly successful Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has been tapped by Marvel to direct Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. As fans continue to reel from the onslaught of announcements at SDCC, Marvel is in no mood to stop.
