Liu, 32,chatted with PEOPLElast month about his groundbreaking role, in which he portrays Marvel’s first Asian leading man. In joining the MCU, Liu said he was looking forward to also being part of The Avengers.
“I’m excited and I think for all of the good and the bad of what’s to come, it’s definitely a journey that I feel very privileged to be going on,” he added. “I know how much it would’ve meant to kids, and to myself as a kid seeing this when I was younger. I totally understand the importance of it.”
Shang-Chi, Liu said, is “a real celebration of Marvel, of superheroes, but also of a culture that has never been portrayed in that way before.”
“It’s really like a celebration of Asianness, and also all of the characters that surround that are coming from a multitude of different backgrounds, whether it’s Asian American or Chinese, or otherwise,” he said. “The other thing that I will promise you … is that you’re going to see some of the craziest action sequences that you’ve ever seen.”
Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Ringshits theaters on September 3.
