Shang-Chi is available to stream at no extra cost on Disney Plus after releasing exclusively in theaters on Sept. 3. Disney had committed to keeping Shang-Chi in theaters only for at least 45 days, a change from their pandemic strategy of releasing new movies on Disney Plus -- like Black Widow -- for an extra charge of $30 before streaming them free after three months.
