Director Destin Daniel Cretton teases the future impact Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ post-credits scene will have on the MCU. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a new hero, and he’s finally made his triumphant debut. Simu Liu plays Shang-Chi, an apparent slacker who has been on the run from his criminal dad for years. The new movie tracks his return to the Ten Rings organization, which is headed by his villainous father Wenwu (Tony Leung). At the same time, Shang-Chi has already begun looking ahead to the future for the MCU newcomer.
As is customary for every MCU project, Shang-Chi contains some extra teases within its credits. The first post-credits scene specifically deals with Shang-Chi’s path forward, as he and his best friend Katy (Awkwafina) find themselves in an unexpected conference with Wong (Benedict Wong), Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo). In addition to hinting at some additional mysteries with the Ten Rings Wenwu and Shang-Chi wield throughout the movie, the post-credits scene also acts as an introduction to the rest of the MCU for Shang-Chi.
