Simu Liu Shares How Shang-Chi Will Be Different In Avengers: Endgame, And It Makes Me Want That Sequel Even More Now

by

As a huge Marvel fan, I’m always excited to see what they release, whether it’s in cinemas or on Disney+. And there’s so much coming up! Everyone’s really looking forward to Avengers: Doomsday, and the recent cast announcement got me hyped – Simu Liu is coming back as Shang-Chi! He’s been talking about how his character will have changed when we see him again, which is really intriguing. I can’t wait to see what they’ve done with him.

Details about Avengers: Doomsday are scarce, so fans who’ve followed the Marvel movies closely have been speculating and sharing theories. Recently, while talking to ComicBook, Liu discussed what Shang-Chi’s next major film will be like, hinting that:

I believe both the character and I have matured since the last installment. It’s great to approach this role with more self-confidence, especially considering how lost Shang felt before. There’s been a time jump, so we’ll find him in a place where he’s more comfortable and settled into his identity and obligations.

I’m really excited about this! It sounds like Liu’s character in Doomsday will be more mature and self-assured as a hero. He’ll be working with big teams like the Avengers and X-Men, but won’t feel lost or out of place this time. I’m looking forward to seeing how the movie, directed by The Russo Brothers, plays out when it comes out in December.

Disney+ offers a streaming library including Marvel Cinematic Universe movies like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. You can start streaming with ads for as little as $11.99 per month. For an ad-free experience, it’s $18.99 monthly, or you can save 16% by paying $189.99 annually. See the deal here.

Simu Liu, known for his role in Kim’s Convenience, hinted at exciting changes coming for his character in Shang-Chi, without giving away too many details. He also discussed the attention his earlier comments about Doomsday received, explaining that he’ll be sporting a new costume in the film. He was surprised by how quickly those comments spread online.

It’s always a surprise when something I say gets turned into a short clip. I remember being really cold on top of the Empire State Building, and someone asked about my outfit. I just said it was new, and it quickly spiraled into a series of confusing statements. I don’t really like to talk about it now.

It seems Tom Holland’s habit of accidentally revealing plot details has been a learning experience for Simu Liu. He recently witnessed how quickly a casual remark can spread online, so he plans to be much more careful about what he says as promotion for Avengers: Doomsday begins.

Everyone’s been speculating that Shang-Chi will have a big role in the next Avengers film, and I’m excited to see if those rumors are true. I’m also wondering what kind of adventures he’ll have when the conflict with Doctor Doom – played by Robert Downey Jr. – really gets going.

Get ready to find out what happens next! Before the year ends, you can see Spider-Man: Brand New Day in theaters on July 31st, followed by Avengers: Doomsday on December 18th as part of the 2026 movie lineup.
