This isn’t Springfield’s first crossover short, with The Simpsons clashing with Star Wars on ‘Maggie Simpson In The Force Awakens From Its Nap’ and Marvel on ‘The Simpsons: The Good, The Bart, And The Loki’.
Disney+ Day is set to feature a number of new premieres on the streaming service, including Frozen shorts, Pixar’s Ciao Alberto spin-off short from Luca, the second season of The World According to Jeff Goldblum, a Boba Fett history special and the streaming debut of Shang Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings.
In NME’s four-star review, Shang Chi is described as a “smart and satisfying superhero romp that suggests Marvel is nowhere near ready to relinquish its hold on the genre”.
