Is Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings on HBO Max or Netflix? Where to watch Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings:

Nope, Shang-Chi is playing exclusively in theaters. And since it’s a Marvel film — and therefore a Disney film — it could to Disney+ as soon as its 45-day exclusive theatrical window ends.

But Disney has declined to confirm the movie is headed to Disney+, and a rep for the streamer previously confirmed to Decider that specific plans are yet to be announced. It’s possible this secrecy is because Disney is in the process of working out financial issues of whether the film will go to PVOD, Disney+’s Premier Access tier (which offers new movies at an additional cost), or Disney+ first, especially as the company deals with a highly publicized lawsuit from Black Widow actress ScarJo for allegedly breaching her contract by simultaneously releasing the film in theaters and on Disney+.

It could hypothetically head to Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) or Hulu for rental, but Disney+ still seems like the best bet.
