In this quick Geek Freaks Headlines segment, we talk about Simu Liu once again insisting Shang-Chi 2 is still happening, even if Marvel hasn’t made it official yet. We also react to Liu confirming he’ll return for Avengers: Secret Wars, what that implies for Avengers: Doomsday, and why Shang-Chi’s live-action absence since 2021 has been so frustrating for fans. We wrap with a quick tease about the X-Men trailer expected tomorrow.
