Simu Liu reacts to Marvel's news that Shang-Chi 2 is green-lit

Shang-Chi 2 has been given the green light, and lead star Simu Liu, 32, is as excited as ever, as are we, of course! A sequel to Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a go, and the 32-year-old actor took to social media to display his excited reaction to the news. “Flopped so hard we got a sequel!!” the actor, who will return as the MCU’s martial arts master in the sequel, took to Twitter to hit back at the naysayers who trolled the first movie and believed it would perform badly at the box office.

Until now, Marvel Studios had been its cards pretty close to its chest with regards to a return for Shang-Chi, but yesterday, a statement was made confirming that, not only will the newest member of The Avengers be back on the big screen, but that a small screen venture on Disney+ is also on the cards!

Alongside Simu Liu, director Destin Daniel Cretton is also set to return to bring us the next chapter in the installment. “Destin is an amazing collaborator who brought a unique perspective and skill to ‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.’ We had a fantastic time working together on the film and he has so many intriguing ideas for stories to bring to life on Disney Plus, so we’re thrilled to expand our relationship with him and can’t wait to get started,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said in a statement.

Plot details forShang-Chi 2 remain a mystery at present, but stay tuned for future updates in the Marvel series.
