Simu Liu on Shang-Chi and What His MCU Superfan Friend Does Before Every Marvel Release

With director Destin Daniel Cretton’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings opening in theaters this weekend, I recently got to speak with Simu Liu about making the newest MCU movie. During the interview, Liu talks about what Kevin Feige and Marvel told him about his character and their long-term plans when he was cast, what it means to be part of Marvel and doing a voice on Star Wars: Visions, and more. In addition, he talked about his friend Chris, how excited he was for him when he was cast, and what his friend does before every Marvel movie release. As most of you know, the film is about Shang-Chi (Liu) who must confront his father Wenwu (Tony Leung) and the past he thought he left behind when he is drawn into the web of the mysterious Ten Rings organization. Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings also stars Awkwafina, Michelle Yeoh, Meng’er Zhang, Fala Chen, Florian Munteanu, Benedict Wong, Yuen Wah, Ronny Chieng, Zach Cherry, and Dallas Liu. The film was written by Dave Cal
