Shang-Chi Won’t Movie to Simultaneous Disney+ Release

The new Marvel movie has lengthy been set to be the studio’s first theatrical-only launch since early 2020, however with rising considerations about the delta variant of covid-19, many assumed that call would change. It won’t, which means Shang-Chi will not be available to stream on Disney+ with Premier Access. To see it, you’ll should go to the theater, at the least for a couple of weeks.

The information was revealed through the newest Disney earnings name.
