Marvel's Shang-Chi Movie Release Date Confirmed | ScreenRant
Marvel Studios has confirmed the official release date of Shang-Chi. Created by Jim Starlin and Steven Englehart back in 1973, in the comics Shang-Chi is Marvel's premiere martial artist. He was spun off from novelist Sax Rohmer's licensed property as the unknown son of the villainous Fu Manchu; Marvel later played that element down again when they lost the license to Fu Manchu.
Although Marvel has been trying to keep their Phase 4 slate under wraps, there have long been reports that the studio was working on a Shang-Chi film. Destin Daniel Cretton (Short Term 12) has been hired as Shang-Chi's director, with screenwriter David Callaham (co-writer of Wonder Woman 1984) working on the script. Until Marvel's Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con, however, pretty much everything has just been rumor.
As had been widely expected, Marvel has used their San Diego Comic-Con presentation to reveal some of their upcoming slate. They've officially confirmed that Shang-Chi will be released at February 12, 2021, making this one of the earliest films in Phase 4. This fits with reports that Shang-Chi would begin production this fall.
