[…] Disney has confirmed that Cretton would write and direct the previously speculated Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings sequel.

Cretton will produce TV programs for both Marvel Studios and Onyx Collective across all platforms, including Hulu, as part of the new overall arrangement. Cretton, a Maui native, will produce via Family Owned, a new production business he is forming with partner Asher Goldstein. They’ll work together to create a slate of film and television projects that showcase the stories of populations that have typically been neglected by mainstream culture.

Tara Duncan, President of Freeform & Onyx Collective, remarked, “Destin is a strong storyteller with immaculate judgment in content.” “Destin’s distinct voice will help usher in an intriguing slate of material for our worldwide audience as we continue to grow our roster.”
