Yeah, Shang-Chi's critics' and audience ratings were just about as good as No Way Home's scores. And being released in the experimental time of the pandemic when not all theaters were open and audiences were wary of being in theaters, it exceeded expectations.Huh. Same kinda pipeline for this one as when the Russos got the nod, then.
Also a BIG show of faith.
Okay, then.Deadline reporting Destin Daniel Cretton will no longer direct Avengers: Kang Dynasty.

This may mean Kang is out or it may mean they’re looking for a bigger name director with a more distinctive style - Raimi’s name was being tossed around even before this. As for the writer, the guy who wrote Ant-Man 3 was always going to get tossed, so the only thing interesting there is the timing. This may all be damage control.
Oh I get that. But for that to have an impact, the character needs to be set up somewhere. Maybe you introduce him in the first of the two Avengers films, but that seems narratively tricky.Well the idea is that Doom would be behind the scenes pulling the strings for a Multiversal Secret Wars maybe even leading into something like Battleworld, like in the comics.
