Simu Liu Wants To Play Shang-Chi Again

JAKARTA - Actor Simu Liu expressed his desire to return to playing Shang-Chi in the future. Liu talked about this to NME when asked how much he was interested in the franchise. Simu Liu also explained that he didn't quite know how many films would be played in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

"I think every contract (player) is different. I'm not sure what I have compared to others," said Simu Liu.

According to Liu, there are many things that can be developed from the story of Shang-Chi. "As a fan, what's most important is watching this film, it's easy to walk out of the theater thinking there's a lot of stories to talk about. Lots of places for characters to go.”

"If you asked me personally as Simu, as a fan of the MCU, if I'd like to see more (Shang-Chi) I'd say, 'Of course yes,' he continued.

Apart from that, Liu could not determine his position regarding this film because this was determined by Marvel Studios officials. The production side also looked at the public's response before deciding on the continuation of the Shang-Chi story.

Kevin Feige as Marvel's boss once revealed that he had many ideas to develop the character of Shang-Chi. Moreover, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is the MCU's first Asian hero film. The film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings premieres starting today, September 3.
