Shang-Chi 2: The Rise of Agents of Atlas
If the upcoming Shang-Chi 2 movie receives official approval the potential title will become “Shang-Chi and the Wreckage of Time”. Recent reports demonstrate that the upcoming movie will present the Agents of Atlas to audiences instead of featuring Kang the Conqueror.
Who Are the Agents of Atlas?
The Agents of Atlas arose as a secret organization through descendants of Genghis Khan according to the comic book version. The criminal organization aimed to establish global power control through which they developed rivalries against the Ten Rings. Jimmy Woo defeated all group members to later turn the organization into an accomplished team.

✅ Jimmy Woo (played by Randall Park) investigating a mysterious new villain.
✅ Iron Fist (Lin Lie) making his MCU debut.
✅ Luna Snow, a popular Korean superhero, as part of the Agents of Atlas team.
The Atlas Foundation vs. Ten Rings: A New Rivalry
At the end of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Shang-Chi’s sister, Xialing, took control of the Ten Rings. However, this power shift has attracted the attention of the Atlas Foundation, a rival organization with deep roots in history.
According to reports:
- The Atlas Foundation has spent time in hiding because of the destruction committed by Wenwu (The Mandarin).
- The destruction of Wenwu creates an opening through which both organizations perceive their possibility to regain power.
- The Golden Horde represents the warrior force which plans to attack the Ten Rings headquarters.
- The battle against these attackers will be stopped by Shang-Chi and Jimmy Woo.
The storyline would strengthen the MCU by researching the historical feuds between the Atlas Foundation and the Ten Rings organization.
Iron Fist’s Arrival in the MCU
The report contains a major unexpected development with the addition of the brand-new Iron Fist character in the MCU. The MCU revises its plan for Iron Fist introducing Lin Lie from the comics as its version instead of Danny Rand.
