Simu Liu on MCU Future and Shang-Chi 2
Simu Liu recently shared his thoughts on his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In an interview with ComicBook , the 35-year-old admitted he’s unsure about his role in future MCU projects. “I just wanna continue to be a fan of it,” Liu said, explaining he usually finds out about his involvement last minute.
However, the Marvel star has assured that Shang-Chi 2 is definitely on the way and expressed great faith in director Destin Daniel Cretton. “Destin is such a special filmmaker, and we’re really excited to see what he comes up with,” he added.
Cretton, who was supposed to direct Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, has had to step away from the job because he’s too busy with other Marvel projects. He’s still involved with Shang-Chi 2, but the release date and start of production are still unknown.
