Simu Liu Addresses Whether Shang-Chi 2 Is Still Happening Amid MCU Refocus

Shang-Chi 2 actor Simu Liu clears up the concern about his sequel not happening following all the recent behind-the-scene changes with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the MCU star was asked about what is going on with Shang-Chi 2, as Liu gave a detailed response about the sequel still happening:

You want me to lose my job, is that it? This is where I use all the mental gymnastics that I possibly can to answer this question, I will say this. It’s definitely happening, I should probably lead with that. People, whether it’s online or in person, ask me every single day and tell me every single day how much they enjoyed the first movie and how much of a moment it was. And I think there’s just so much goodwill, and I’m so deeply appreciative of that.

So please know that if you’ve ever sent me a message, if you’ve ever asked about a sequel or just approached or any which way, I really take it to heart, and I really, really appreciate it. I think I speak for myself and Destin [Daniel Cretton], our returning director, when I say that we’re so beyond excited to jump back in.
