Shang-Chi appears to go one step further than the comics, though, with dialogue suggesting it is an entirely separate universe. Indeed, in the comics, Ta Lo - which has only appeared once in the comics, and has been detailed more in handbooks than in the comics themselves - is a pocket dimension that exists alongside Earth, almost inaccessible but still attached to this plane of existence in some way. Shang-Chi introduced the mystical realm of Ta Lo, and this appears to fit with the wider interpretation of the Multiverse seen in Doctor Strange and promoted by Derrickson.

Lofficier, and Lee Weeks explaining the comic book Multiverse. A few years ago, Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson shared a tweet suggesting his interpretation of the Multiverse was drawn from Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme #21, which contained a feature by Roy Thomas, R.J.M. The core problem is that the MCU has continually redefined what it means by the Multiverse, and the rules of temporal mechanics that govern it are becoming increasingly confused. Shang-Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings isn't obviously part of that story - but it still features wormholes through space and time to an entirely different universe, so it definitely fits in thematically, even if the MCU hasn't yet revealed how it fits in directly. The first few Disney+ TV shows have largely focused on it, with WandaVision setting Scarlet Witch up for a Multiversal role, Loki unleashing the Multiverse proper, and Marvel's What If.? exploring a range of alternate timelines. Initially set up by the Thor films, the Multiverse has become central to the MCU Phase 4. Here's how Shang-Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings fits into the wider MCU Multiverse. Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
