Looks Like Shang-Chi & Captain Marvel May Have Big Roles In Avengers 5

[Ursinho]

Recent developments for MCU Phase 6 make it look like Shang-Chi and Captain Marvel may have big roles to play in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.

Shang-Chi and Captain Marvel will have big roles in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.,  Just a few years after the release of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios announced that audiences will get two Avengers movies in 2025. The confirmation of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars give viewers a clear roadmap to where the MCU is heading, as the Multiverse Saga is building toward an epic clash between Kang the Conqueror and a new version of the Avengers.

Avengers: Endgame brought an end to Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow's time with the Avengers, so a very different lineup of MCU superheroes will be needed for Avengers 5. Of the original members, Thor, the Hulk, and Hawkeye could still have roles to play in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, but the expectation is that newer heroes will receive the spotlight instead. Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Shang-Chi, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, and whoever the MCU's next Black Panther is will likely be part of the Avengers 5 team.

The multiverse and Kang-focused story of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty might result in Doctor Strange and Ant-Man playing major roles, but now Shang-Chi and Captain Marvel appear likely to have important roles, too. Destin Daniel Cretton has just been announced as the director of Avengers 5. He previously directed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings for Marvel Studios, so his hiring could indicate that Shang-Chi will have a prominent role in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. Cretton also has a tendency to feature Brie Larson in his movies, as she's starred in two of them, had a supporting role in another, and even cameoed as Captain Marvel in the Shang-Chi post-credits scene. Their ongoing partnership should continue with Avengers 5 now and result in Captain Marvel being another one of the movie's main characters.

Shang-Chi’s Post-Credits Already Teased Avengers 5’S Team

Marvel Studios has yet to officially confirm any cast members for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, but it is worth noting that Destin Daniel Cretton may have already revealed the main team in Shang-Chi's post-credits. The after-credits teaser showed Wong taking Shang-Chi and Katy back to the Sanctum Sanctorum for a conversation with Captain Marvel and Bruce Banner. They gathered to discuss the origins of the Ten Rings weapons. The scene clearly teased Shang-Chi becoming an Avenger in the MCU. It now seems even more likely that Shang-Chi, Captain Marvel, Wong, and the Hulk will be the backbone of the Avengers 5 team.

 

 

Even without Cretton's involvement, Captain Marvel and Shang-Chi were always likely to have big roles in Avengers 5. Marvel continues to elevate Carol Danvers' role in the MCU, and The Marvels is positioned to be a huge movie in Phase 5. Meanwhile, Simu Liu's debut as Shang-Chi made him one of the best new characters in MCU Phase 4. They should now both get the chance to team up in a significant fashion after briefly meeting in Shang-Chi's post-credits scene. Based on how powerful Shang-Chi and Captain Marvel are in the MCU, Kang will have some significant firepower opposing him in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
