While the origins of the Ten Rings have been kept ambiguous in the MCU, they seem to be extremely powerful. A new rumor regarding the sequel revealed that time travel will be involved inShang-Chi 2. Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi would reportedly be able to time travel and battle the Agents of Atlas using the Ten Rings.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe began using time travel as early asCaptain America: The First Avengers. While Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers was merely frozen in time for decades, the idea established the MCU’s penchant for exploring more fantastical elements. WithDoctor StrangeandAvengers: Endgame, the concept of time travel was pushed more.
