Spoilers for this title

Quick recap

Shang-Chi works as a valet in San Francisco with his friend Katy, hiding from his father, Wenwu, the centuries-old leader of the Ten Rings. Wenwu brings him and his sister, Xialing, back because he believes he hears his dead wife, Ying Li, calling from behind a sealed gate in the hidden village of Ta Lo. What's really there is the Dweller-in-Darkness, a soul-eating creature. Shang-Chi, Xialing and Katy reach Ta Lo, where his aunt Ying Nan trains him. Wenwu breaks the gate open, realizes his mistake and dies passing the rings to his son. Shang-Chi and the Ta Lo dragon defeat the Dweller. Left open: Wong and Bruce Banner study the rings, which are sending an unknown signal, and Xialing takes over the Ten Rings.
