Home Alone is a 1990 American Christmas comedy film directed by Chris Columbus and written and produced by John Hughes. The first film in the Home Alone franchise, the film stars Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, and Catherine O’Hara. Culkin plays Kevin McCallister, a boy who defends his suburban Chicago home from a home invasion by a pair of robbers after his family accidentally leaves him behind on their Christmas vacation to Paris.

Hughes conceived Home Alone while on vacation, with Warner Bros. being originally intended to finance and distribute the film. However, Warner Bros. shut down production after it exceeded its assigned budget. 20th Century Fox assumed responsibilities following secret meetings with Hughes. Columbus and Culkin were hired soon afterwards. Filming took place between February and May 1990 on location across Illinois.

Home Alone premiered in Chicago on November 10, 1990, and was theatrically released in the United States on November 16. While the film’s reception was initially mixed, in later years reception has been generally positive, with praise for its cast, humor, and music.

Home Alone grossed $476.7 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing live-action comedy until the release of The Hangover Part II (2011), and made Culkin a child star. Moreover, it was the second-highest-grossing film of 1990, behind Ghost.[3]

It was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, and Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for Culkin, and for the Academy Award for Best Original Score for John Williams, and Best Original Song for “Somewhere in My Memory”.

Home Alone has since been considered one of the best Christmas films.[4][5] A sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, was released in 1992.

Deadpool is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Fabian Nicieza and artist/writer Rob Liefeld, the character first appeared in The New Mutants #98 (cover-dated February 1991). Initially Deadpool was depicted as a supervillain when he made his first appearance in The New Mutants and later in issues of X-Force, but later evolved into his more recognizable antiheroic persona.

Deadpool, whose real name is Wade Winston Wilson, is a disfigured mercenary with the superhuman ability of regeneration and physical prowess. The character is known as the “Merc with a Mouth” because of his tendency to talk and joke constantly, including breaking the fourth wall for humorous effect and running gags.

The character’s popularity has seen him featured in numerous forms of other media. In the 2004 series Cable & Deadpool, he refers to his own scarred appearance as “Ryan Reynolds crossed with a Shar-Pei” (though in the comic, Reynolds’ name is misspelled as “Renolds”).

Reynolds himself would eventually portray the character in the X-Men film series, appearing in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), Deadpool (2016), and its sequel Deadpool 2 (2018). Reynolds attributes Cable & Deadpool #2 to what got him hooked on the character and inspired him to bring the character to the movies. He is confirmed to continue playing the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Outside of Liu, no other cast members have yet been confirmed for Shang-Chi 2. It’s assumed that actors such as Awkwafina and Meng’er Zhang will be back for the sequel. Destin Daniel Cretton, who helmed the first installment, has been confirmed to direct Shang-Chi 2.

The sequel is part of Cretton’s overall deal with Marvel Studios, as he is also developing a MCU show for Disney+ Shang-Chi 2 has been confirmed to happen, but Marvel Studios has yet to give it a release date.Phase 5 is already packed as is with several upcoming films and shows. But there is the chance that Shang-Chi 2 may be one of the unannounced Phase 6 projects.

If not in Phase 6, Shang-Chi 2 may not be happening until Phase 7 at the earliest. Cretton is also directing Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, hence the lack of progression on Shang-Chi 2.

Even if Shang-Chi 2 is delayed till Phase 7, it feels safe to say the hero will be part of Phases 5-6 in some capacity. It’d be shocking if Shang-Chi doesn’t take part in the two upcoming Avengers films.Given Cretton’s Avengers: The Kang Dynasty involvement, it would make sense for Liu to be back for that film. Hopefully, Marvel Studios will provide updates about Shang-Chi 2 later this year.
