Simu Liu is opening up about his hopes for Shang-Chi<\/a> after Avengers: Doomsday<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Liu is reprising his Shang-Chi role in Marvel Studios<\/a>\u2019 Avengers: Doomsday, which is now in post-production. Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, also known as the Russo Brothers, the movie arrives in theaters in December 2026, while the sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars, then follows in 2027.<\/p>\n

What did Simu Liu say about Shang-Chi\u2019s MCU future after Avengers: Doomsday?<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday will be the second MCU<\/a> movie to star Liu, though there have been talks of making a sequel<\/a> to 2021\u2019s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings<\/a> for some time. Speaking with ComicBook<\/a>, Liu said that he wants to keep playing his Marvel<\/a> role in Shang-Chi sequels for \u201cas long as [he] physically\u201d can.<\/p>\n

Liu didn\u2019t dive into what a potential Shang-Chi 2 could look like or what he hopes to explore in the character next; he did, however, comment on his experience making Avengers: Doomsday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just in like quite a large Marvel movie with a lot of these actors, some of whom have been playing the same role for like over 20 years,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m stepping into their world. I\u2019m stepping into their characters, who they\u2019ve owned and honed and developed for so long. And it\u2019s everything I can do just to like stop myself from shaking. But the thought that kind of powers me is this: you\u2019ve still got to show up and you\u2019ve got to try your best. Try your best to get something usable in there and get out of your own way. I feel like a lot of times we use impostor syndrome or insecurity as an excuse not to show up.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can just not make it about ourselves for a second and just focus on the work that you have to do. What is the objective? What is my objective as this character? Then you just take it a step at a time, and then hopefully when you do it for 40 years, someone will be looking at you and being like \u2018Holy crap, what I would give to do work like that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday will be released on December 18, 2026, while Avengers: Secret Wars comes out on December 17, 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Simu Liu is opening up about his hopes for Shang-Chi after Avengers: Doomsday.
