Though Avengers: Doomsday goes to be filled with thrilling characters and epic returns, there’s one MCU hero I am significantly excited to see again on the large display. Whereas they had been absent from all 4 Doomsday teasers, a latest replace has me very excited all the identical.
Regardless of Shang-Chi’s sturdy debut, the MCU hero performed by Simu Liu has been fairly absent from the primary MCU timeline since 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. With a Shang-Chi sequel nonetheless on Marvel Studios’ again burner, new feedback from Liu himself have me very excited for the hero’s function in Avengers: Doomsday.
Simu Liu Has Teased Thrilling Development For Shang-Chi Since 2021
In a latest interview with ComicBook.com, Simu Liu not too long ago teased Shang-Chi’s upcoming progress and evolution in Avengers: Doomsday, hinting at a extra assured and skilled hero within the years for the reason that hero’s MCU debut:
“He’s older. I’m older, so attending to carry somewhat bit extra of a top quality of self-assurance is all the time nice, particularly as a result of Shang was such a fish out of water. There’s somewhat little bit of a leap in time, so I feel we’ll meet him at a spot the place he’s feeling somewhat extra lived in with who he’s and his tasks.”
These new feedback are very thrilling, given how little Shang-Chi has been seen within the years since his live-action MCU debut. Likewise, it is also reassuring to get this replace after Shang-Chi was nowhere to be seen in any of Avengers: Doomsday’s not too long ago launched teasers.
Avengers: Doomsday Ought to Be Shang-Chi’s Time To Shine
Avengers: Doomsday seems like the proper alternative for Shang-Chi to lastly get extra of the highlight he is lengthy deserved. Other than some welcome animated appearances in Marvel’s What If…? and Marvel Zombies, he hasn’t appeared in stay motion inside the core 616 actuality since 2021, a surprisingly lengthy hole for such a well-liked Part 4 hero.
Retaining that in thoughts, Liu’s feedback are hopefully suggesting that Shang-Chi may have a reasonably outstanding function within the main ensemble that’s the fifth Avengers film. It is the least Marvel Studios can do after nonetheless not giving us a sequel nearly 5 years later.
