The Marvel Cinematic Universe always tries to keep everything a secret, but an actor challenged the movie studio.
Kevin Feig, has become one of the most powerful people in the film industry. Since he is one of the great architects of the UCM and has hired the biggest actors who have gone through Marvel.
Now, we know that there is an actor who, despite the warnings, did not listen and challenged Marvel and revealed his signing ahead of time. In a conversation between stars, via Variety, Simu Liu talked with Jessica Henwick about his signing as Shang Chi.
“I’m not a big secret guy, when it comes to these things. Kevin Feige said: We’re taking you to Comic-Con in San Diego in four days, just keep your mouth shut until then. We want to be able to surprise the whole world when we announce you at Comic-Con, like, don’t ruin the moment. And I said: Yes, yes, of course. He said: No, seriously, don’t tell your parents, don’t tell your friends. Do not tell anybody. I was like: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I immediately called my best friend. It’s too big a story to keep with you.”
Luckily there was no retaliation.
Though Simu Liu challenged the boss Marvelthen continued in the role of Shang Chi and we got to see him in his origins movie. It will also be very important for the future of the saga, since its history is far from being finished, since it has to tell us the origin of the Ten Rings. So let’s hope they confirm the release date of the sequel soon.
The movie Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings (2021) and the rest of deliveries of Marvel Studios can be enjoyed in the Disney Plus streaming platform.
