Simu Liu says Shang-Chi 2 is definitely happening
Simu Liu has reassured fans that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings 2 hasn't been forgotten.
Fans were delighted to see Liu take on the role of Marvel's first Chinese superhero in 2021. But things have remained fairly stagnant on the sequel front over the last three years.
The original movie follows Shang-Chi (Liu) as he's confronted by his mysterious past and reunited with his father, the leader of the Ten Rings organisation. Packed full of action, emotion and comedic relief, the movie currently holds an impressive 91% Rotten Tomatoes rating, with fans desperate for sequel updates.

Now, the actor has shed some light on Marvel's intentions for the character.
"A lot of it is above my pay grade, but it's definitely happening. So just very excited to kind of work on it, and it's going to be amazing," Liu told PTI (via Times of India). "I really can't say anything beyond that."
This announcement follows various updates from the star. Liu has previously shared news regarding the movie's place within the MCU timeline, as well as storylines he'd like to see in the sequel.

Meanwhile, Liu recently starred in the movie Jackpot! alongside his Shang-Chi co-stars Awkwafina and John Cena. Discussing his own jackpot moment in life, he credited Marvel boss Kevin Feige.
"Probably the main one that I could think of is getting the call from Kevin Feige. God, it was like five years ago now that I was going to play Shang-Chi," he recalled.
"If you talk about one moment and one decision that's made in one's life that completely changes the trajectory of an entire career, an entire life, not only my life but the lives of my friends, my family. I think that [call] is like winning the lottery 10 times over."
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is streaming on Disney+.
