Marvel's Shang-Chi has been a notable focus for industry analysts and fans alike. With a planned release initially set for September 2021, there are mounting signs that the film could face delays or even a hybrid release model, offering both theatrical and Disney+ options. Observers point out that the film's reception in key markets such as China has been lukewarm. Early merchandise clearance and tepid box office performance suggest waning interest, raising questions about its commercial viability in theaters, especially with concerns over the delta variant affecting theater attendance.
