If there’s anybody able to get again to the MCU with bells on, it’s Simu Liu! It’s been a number of years since we noticed Liu within the flesh as Shang-Chi for 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and followers of the character are overjoyed to listen to he’s returning for Marvel’s subsequent occasion movie, Avengers: Doomsday.
“It was really awesome, exciting,” Liu instructed Selection throughout a press tour for Netflix‘s newest animated movie, In Your Goals. “So many actors that I grew up watching, and to get to kind of play in that sandbox with them… it’s a dream come true. I grew up watching superhero movies and wanting to believe that the outcasts and the nerds and the weirdos could find it in themselves to have superpowers and save the day. That’s what 12-year-old me clung on to. I still believe, for better or for worse, in the power of what those movies stand for today.”
These days, not everybody shares Liu’s opinion in regards to the state of superhero filmmaking, with some arguing that “superhero fatigue” is an actual phenomenon and that the MCU has misplaced its method.
