The MCU Aims to Get Back to Work With Shang-Chi

Marvel Studios reportedly aims to restart production at Fox Studios in Australia on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings by the end of this month. Deadline's Aussie source claims Marvel is taking "careful steps" to return to set. "The cast and crew of Shang-Chi who travel to Australia will be quarantined upon arrival per the country’s guidance," Deadline reports. "Accommodations for those in quarantine are identified by the government."

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was to have opened Feb. 12, 2021 but has now been pushed to May 7, 2021 in a recent overhaul that saw many MCU Phase 4 movies swapping release dates.

In the US, many states are currently seeing a huge spike in new cases which is slowing Hollywood's plan to resume production. Worldwide, film and TV productions shooting in countries who have flattened the curve or seen fewer increased infections are more likely to move ahead.
