Returning faces
Simu Liu first played Shang-Chi in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings in 2021; he has said the character has since grown older and more confident in his identity and responsibilities. Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and Alan Cumming originated their X-Men roles in Fox's franchise over two decades ago. Cumming has said his Nightcrawler makeup now takes roughly 90 minutes, compared with nearly five hours on X2 in 2003, and described the Doomsday experience as healing after a difficult time on the earlier film.
A sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars, is set to follow in December 2027.
