Summer has come and gone, but the releases of some major films have been pushed

back to the Fall or Winter season this year. As such, this holiday season may feel more
like Summer 2.0! Here’s what to expect as we reach the end of 2021.

On September 3rd, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings bursts into
theaters. The next film in the Marvel universe follows Shang-Chi, a master martial
artist who is trying to escape the malevolent shadow of his crime lord father. This
film will help kick off Phase 4 of the Marvel universe with a relatively unknown
character. But, just like with Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel is planning to make
Shang-Chi an unforgettable adventure with tons of kung-fu action.

On September 24th, Venom: Let There Be Carnage creeps
into cinemas. The sequel to 2018’s Venom sees the return of
TIGER
Eddie Brock and Venom, as they take on the serial killer Cletus
BASS
Kasady, who calls himself Carnage. Unlike the last film, this
sequel will be R-rated, with heavy emphasis on the violence.

this film may just deliver on what they’ve been asking for.
