Marvel’s Shang-Chi Pauses First-Unit Production as Director Self-Isolates

First-unit production for Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has been suspended as director Destin Daniel Cretton self-isolates pending the results of a test for the coronavirus COVID-19, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Cretton has apparently self-isolated under a doctor’s recommendation. The film is currently shooting in Australia. According to The Hollywood Reporter’s sources first-unit production will be temporarily halted “in an abundance of caution” but second unit and off production “will continue as normal.” Cretton’s results will be available next week.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, starring Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Tony Leung as the real Mandarin, and Awkwafina is scheduled to hit cinemas in February 2021.
