Doctor Strange 3 and Shang-Chi 2: What We Know So Far
Doctor Strange 3 and Shang-Chi 2 are finally inching closer to reality. The latest buzz from the grapevine suggests filming could kick off in 2026. Fans have been waiting with bated breath for news on these blockbuster sequels, and now it seems they have something to look forward to.
Anticipated Delays and Speculations
The revelation came from a recent update shared by internet scooper Daniel Richtman. He didn’t provide specific details but hinted these two Marvel adventures might not hit theaters until 2027. While Marvel Studios keeps mum on the premiere dates, fans remain hopeful. Richtman’s post doesn’t mention film director Destin Daniel Cretton’s potential involvement. It’s also unclear if he’ll transition directly from his work on Spider-Man 4 to the mysterious lands of Shang-Chi.
Benedict Cumberbatch’s return as Doctor Strange is still up in the air. Although his involvement in Doctor Strange 3 isn’t certain, he’s set to reprise his role in Avengers: Doomsday. Fans last saw Doctor Strange in action in 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Cumberbatch confirmed his excitement about working again with the Russo brothers. He also eagerly anticipates sharing the screen with Robert Downey Jr., who portrays Doctor Doom.
Heroes in Anticipation
Meanwhile, Simu Liu remains equally enigmatic about the future of Shang-Chi. Like Cumberbatch, Liu hasn’t worn his superhero shoes since 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. While he assures fans that Shang-Chi 2 is “definitely happening,” the timeline for its arrival remains cloudy. Liu candidly admits that much of the planning is beyond his control, leaving fans to wonder when they’ll see their martial arts hero in action again.
The patient wait for official announcements continues. However, with Richtman’s whispers sparking chatter, fans cling to the hope of eventually returning to the enigmatic worlds of Doctor Strange and Shang-Chi. Until then, the Marvel universe anticipates an awe-inspiring future with its beloved superheroes.
