Disney has announced the Disney+ premiere date for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The latest Marvel film will become available to stream for all Disney+ subscribers beginning on November 12.
Notably, this premiere date places Shang-Chi's streaming debut outside of the 45-day exclusive theatrical window planned for the film. This could mean that Shang-Chi will become available for digital purchase and rental before it is available to Disney+ subscribers.
The streaming premiere of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will be part of the new event Disney+ Day, a celebration for the second anniversary of the streaming service.
“The inaugural Disney+ Day will be a grand-scale celebration of our subscribers across the entire company,” said Disney CEO Bob Chapek. “This day of appreciation brings to life our mission to entertain, inform, and inspire fans and families around the globe through the power of unparalleled storytelling, and will become an annual tentpole event to be amplified across our global businesses."
Along with Shang-Chi, November 12 will also mark the Disney+ premiere of Jungle Cruise, the new Home Alone reimagining Home Sweet Home Alone, a Pixar short film featuring characters from Luca, a new Simpsons short celebrating Disney, an MCU-themed special, a Boba Fett-themed special, the first five episodes of Season 2 of The World According to Jeff Goldblum, several fan-favorite Disney Animation Studios shorts, and other content.
In our review of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, IGN gave the film an 8, saying that the movie "is a confident introduction to Marvel’s first Asian superhero, delivering the MCU’s best fight choreography and one of its most emotionally complex villains."
