Simu Liu couldn't have a bigger entrée into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but his first time stepping foot onset of a major Hollywood franchise film actually came years prior.
"It makes me comes off as like a Nostradamus-level future predictor, which I wish was the case," Liu reflects."Obviously, I didn't send the tweet thinking that anything would come of it. It was like, do you want to win the lottery? Do you want a million dollars for free? And I was like, sure!"
Then the hard work began. Introduced in the comics as a Master of Kung Fu, Shang-Chi was always going to be Liu's most physically demanding role to date."It was like doing a marathon," he says. The extensive training and endless workouts he did leading up to filming became that much more grueling when production was forced to shut down for four months amid the pandemic.
"I was like in the greatest shape of my life, and I was like, what am I supposed to do?" Liu remembers."Am I supposed to keep working out? Because I don't know when we're starting back up again. I kind of really miss carbs. I kept it up for a while and then eventually loosed up. I was just like, 'I'm going to Korean BBQ, guys. I can't take this anymore.' And then, of course, they're like, 'We are coming back! You've got to get back into shape.
