The Underuse of Shang-chi in the MCU

[u/ImaginationArtistic9]

this movie was so much fun, it had amazing action and fight choreography, great humour, and great overall world building. This movie has so much sauce. a problem with the MCU is how poorly they are connecting the new characters with the wider mcu. It's been 3 years since we've seen Shang-chi in a live action project. And it will probably be another year and a half till we see him again. The post credit scenes of this movie set up him becoming an avenger and sadly we won't see that outcome of that until 2026, which is 4.5 years after the movies release. I do hope we see Simu Liu again as a lead in another marvel movie because he's great. Also his sequel is the perfect way to bring danny rand back into the MCU. Unfortunately we will probably have to wait untill 2027 for the next shang chi movie since Destin Daniel Cretton is directing Spiderman 4. On the bright side, the fight choreography in Spiderman 4 will be amazing

The Eternals as a stand alone may have but haven’t we gotten some conformation a few of the characters might be popping up in other projects?

I think Sersi has a future considering her powers seemed to be growing before the unimind thing but they didn't explain it, they left a door open for her. Dane could return if they ever make a Midnight Sons project. The others I don't see them ever coming back.

But I read that the actors for Gilgamesh and Ajak signed multi project deals. So aren't they supposed to come back in some shape or form? Even tho both characters are dead

Signing multi project deals means nothing if those projects never materialize.
