In 2021, actor Simu Liu made his mark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) by portraying the superhero Shang-Chi in the film 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'. While the movie received positive reviews and garnered a dedicated fanbase, a sequel has yet to be confirmed. However, Liu is passionate about continuing the story and recently expressed his desire for a follow-up in a heartfelt post on Threads.
Liu, who is a self-proclaimed fan of superhero movies, highlighted the importance of the genre. He acknowledged the criticisms surrounding the excessive use of CGI but emphasized that these films also provide a platform where people of color can take center stage as the main characters. Science fiction and fantasy movies encourage us to imagine a world where anything is possible. Liu hopes that the genre will not only survive but also thrive, giving audiences more diverse and inclusive stories.
