Simu Liu talks about the future of Shang-Chi in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
After making his debut in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Liu would like to play the character again, although to date there is no news regarding his placement in the line up of future films of the franchise. Shang-Chi is the first Asian character to play the lead role in a film in the saga, and it's hard to believe that Marvel Studios has no more appearances in store.if ( jQuery ("# crm_srl-th_culturapop_d_mh2_1"). I think I know as much as anyone. There will be a sequel, I think it was obvious but it has also been made official. As for when it will be made, I think this is more a matter of timing and how well my back will hold up in the years to come. I'd make forty films if we could!

What kind of links, easter eggs? I am practically as clueless as all of you, I know nothing, but I am eager to dive into this creative process
