After having made her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in the first movie, Awkwafina is optimistic about her Shang-Chi 2 return chances. The Golden Globe winner starred in the 2019 blockbuster hit as Katy, the best friend of Simu Liu's eponymous hero who learns of his past as the son of the leader of the Ten Rings and attempts to help him confront his personal demons. Development on a Shang-Chi sequel was announced a few months after the first movie became a critical and commercial hit, though no timeline has been given for its release.
