Next next entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the movie continues phase four of the MCU by giving us the story of the superhero Shang-Chi, who has to face off against his crime lord father.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings releases on Friday, September 3, 2021.
At release, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will only be available to watch in theaters. Unlike Black Widow, for instance, Shang-Chi will not be available on Disney+ via Premier Access on day one.
Black Widow, the only other MCU movie to come out this year, debuted in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access (a $30 fee) on day one. Shang-Chi isn't going that route.
Which begs the question: when will Shang-Chi be available on Disney+? According to Disney CEO Bob Chapek, it may arrive on the streaming service 45 days after the theatrical release. That would put it on Disney+ on October 18.
Note that this date isn't a guarantee, and there has been no official announcement as to when Shang-Chi will land on Disney+ for all subscribers. It's also possible Disney will charge an additional fee to watch it when it does arrive on the service. We'll update this article once Disney details its streaming release plans for Shang-Chi.
So... is Shang-Chi any good? The movie has been getting pretty positive reviews overall so far. Our critic said, "Director Destin Daniel Cretton skillfully connects Shang-Chi’s personal stakes with the larger MCU by way of an emotionally complex villain, a stellar cast with fantastic chemistry, and incredible action sequences."
