5 Nov - While no movie number 2 is in sight, Simu Liu is elated to be able to reprise his role as Marvel superhero Shang-Chi in the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday". The actor, who spoke to ScreenRant recently, said that it was an incredible feeling being able to work with so many actors from the same universe after growing up watching so many of these stars. "It feels, in a lot of ways, like a love letter to the entire genre of superhero movies. And I think there's something really fun about that," he said.
Liu also enthused that the film is "for all the misfits and the weirdos and the underdogs that grew up reading comic books and feeling like there was hope for them somehow". He added, "I think there's just always a special place in my heart for that entire genre." Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo of "Avengers: Endgame" fame, the movie sees the return of many popular MCU characters, including Thor, Ant-Man, Magneto, Professor X, Cyclops and Mister Fantastic.
