Destin Daniel Cretton is reportedly no longer directing Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
Cretton helmed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, starring Simu Liu as the titular hero, which earned over $432 million worldwide. Per the report, Cretton will remain director of Shang-Chi’s sequel, and will continue to develop Wonder Man forDisneyPlus alongside showrunner Andrew Guest.
The Marvels producer Mary Livanos previously told Total Film that themovie potentially sets up both The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars, saying that, “Exactly how it’ll all pan out in an Avengers movie is currently being figured out right now. But we’re definitely ending our characters in places that allow for plentiful opportunity.“An Ant-Man 3 reference in the Loki season 2 finalealso potentially sets up The Kang Dynasty.
Wonder Man, a standalone series produced under the newMarvel Spotlightbanner, does not yet have a release date, but will resume filming after the Thanksgiving holiday after delays from both theWGAandSAG-AFTRAstrikes.
