Marvel fans rejoice, Deadline has learned that Marvel Studios is looking to resume production on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings later this month at Fox studios in Sydney Australia.
The film is prepping now, with the studio reportedly taking “careful steps” to keep the cast and crew safe and healthy. The cast and crew are expected to be quarantined upon their arrival to Australia. Accommodations for those in quarantine are identified by the government.
The film started production back in February and was shutdown a month later due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Shang-Chi reps the second movie from Walt Disney Studios that is resuming following 20th Century Studios’ Avatar 2 which got back to work last month in New Zealand. We have steadily been hearing that Disney’s live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid will also start production later this month at Pinewood Studios in London.
