Summary

  • Post-credit scenes in MCU hint at future events and build excitement among fans.
  • Fans are eager for a resolution of Shang-Chi’s unresolved post-credit scene.
  • Shang-Chi 2 was confirmed by Simu Liu, offering hope for answers in the sequel.

In a simpler fashion, Marvel Studios is known for using post-credits scenes in their movies, which have become a distinctive feature of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). One such scene left several viewers puzzled, and there’s anticipation for its resolution.

After the final credits roll, viewers get a glimpse into upcoming story developments – introducing new characters, conflicts, or plotlines. This serves to grow the Marvel Cinematic Universe and keeps fans on edge with anticipation. For example, the post-credit scene for Thor: Ragnarok (2017) showed Thanos’ ship appearing, which paved the way for events in Avengers: Infinity War (2018). Post-credits often entice fans to stay until the very end of the movie for additional information, Easter eggs, or surprise cameos. However, some post-credit scenes from Marvel films have left certain mysteries unanswered.

In a Reddit conversation, enthusiasts of Marvel debated the post-credit sequence from the movie “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” This scene shows Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) and Katy (Awkwafina) after Wong (Benedict Wong) brings them to Kamar-Taj, where they encounter Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) and Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) through a hologram. They ponder over the Ten Rings, which are giving off a puzzling signal. Despite their best efforts, no one could pinpoint what it was. Wong informs Shang-Chi and Katy that from now on, their lives will take an unprecedented turn, and there’s no going back. They have a significant journey ahead of them. He suggests they return home to rest, but the scene concludes with the trio having a fun karaoke night together.

It seems many are eagerly anticipating more about what comes next for the characters, particularly regarding the possible appearance of Shang-Chi in future Avengers movies. One user speculated that the post-credit scene from the original Shang-Chi movie would connect to the sequel and establish Shang Chi’s role in the fifth Avengers film. However, it has been five years since the first Shang-Chi movie was released, with no official updates on a sequel. Moreover, Shang-Chi has yet to appear in any Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) project thus far. Another user noted that given his talent, Liu’s portrayal of Shang-Chi represents the most underutilized character by the MCU so far.

The movie “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” was a hit at the box office, earning over $360 million worldwide, and received positive reviews from critics. Despite being released during the pandemic, it managed to garner success. However, updates regarding the upcoming sequel have been slow, even though the first film was both commercially and critically successful. As a result, fans’ curiosity about the unresolved post-credit scene is justified. Nevertheless, the sequel is confirmed to be in development, with actor Simu Liu confirming its production in August 2024. He expressed his enthusiasm for the project and hinted at what fans might expect. “I’m really excited to work on it, and it’s going to be fantastic,” Liu said. “Unfortunately, I can’t reveal much more.” With the sequel underway, fans may finally get answers about the true nature of the Ten Rings in the next film.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings streams on Disney Plus.
