Black Widow kicked the MCU’s fourth phase off with a bang but according to critics, Shang-Chi is even better. The movie was delayed three times and is finally finishing up its theatrical run, meaning it’ll be available for home streaming on November 12. Below, we’ll give you all of the details including what platforms this movie will be on, what we know about the plot, and how to watch Shang-Chi while traveling abroad.

First off, we only recommend watching official Shang-Chi streams. Unlicensed sources tend to have lower-quality video and are inevitably taken down soon after they’re noticed by copyright holders. Besides, there’s one legitimate broadcaster that’s available in dozens of countries, so there’s not really any reason to stream this movie anywhere else.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will only be available on geo-blocked streaming platforms. This means that if you’re traveling, you’ll likely need a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to watch it on your usual streaming services from home.

How to watch Marvel’s Shang-Chi movie online from abroad

VPNs are privacy-enhancing tools that encrypt your internet traffic and send it through a server somewhere else in the world, hiding your true IP address in the process. They can also help you regain access to your usual services while traveling abroad.

Here’s how to watch Shang-Chi online from anywhere:

  • Start by signing up for a reputable VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN but Surfshark and ExpressVPN are great options as well.
  • Download the VPN app onto any device you use for streaming. Usually, you’ll be allowed to connect at least five devices at a time, but the exact limit is different for each provider.
  • Log in and connect to a server in your home country. This will make it seem like you never left.
  • Try watching something on Disney+. If everything has gone to plan, your video will begin playing immediately without any errors. If not, clear your cookies and try again. Alternatively, ask your VPN’s customer support team if there’s a specific server you should use.

There are no hidden terms—just let customer support know within 30 days if you decide NordVPN isn’t right for you and you’ll get a full refund. Start your NordVPN trial here.

In most of the world, Shang-Chi will be available on Disney+. This includes the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, Germany, France, and India. Better still, while Black Widow was part of the Disney Premier Access program, Shang-Chi won’t cost anything extra and will simply be available as part of a regular subscription. Prices vary but generally, you can expect to pay around $9 (GBP £6.70) per month. Unfortunately, it’s no longer possible to get a free trial.

Disney+ is scheduled to arrive in several East Asian countries in November, most notably South Korea and Taiwan, where it’ll launch the same day that Shang-Chi is added (November 12). However, while this service is premiering in Hong Kong later that week, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will not be available in this location, possibly due to lead actor Simu Liu’s comments on Chinese censorship.

As far as we’re aware, Shang-Chi will be included in every Disney+ library other than the Hong Kong one. Still, if you find yourself in a location where this title isn’t available, you can use a VPN to access your home country’s library instead. NordVPN has a 30-day money-back guarantee, giving you the chance to try it risk-free and claim a refund if unsatisfied.
