As for actor Simu Liu, his connection to Marvel superheroes seems to go back considering he revealed in an interview with Empire, that he used to wear a Spider-Man costume for kids celebrating their birthday parties. Talking about the same, he said, "As an Asian man, I could never show my face. It was only once I put the mask on that the illusion of the superhero would be sold. The moment that I took it off, nobody would ever think I could be that. That’s something I was keenly aware of."
Shang-Chi and the Legend of The Ten Rings will be Marvel's second release in theatres after Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow following the delays caused by COVID-19. The film is slated to release on September 3.
