SHANG-CHI Star Simu Liu Says He's "Pretty Sure" He's in AVENGERS: THE KANG DYNASTY

Simu Liu made his big MCU debut back in 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and some fans have been wondering when we might see him back in action. The actor previously shared on social media Shang-Chi 2 would happen after one of the upcoming Avengers films, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty or Avengers: Secret Wars, which will be released in 2026 and 2027.

As for when the character will pop up again in the MCU, Liu says he’s “pretty sure” that he’s going to be in The Kang Dynasty. When asked in an interview with Men’s Health if he’d be in that movie, Liu said:

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be in it too. Beyond that, I really don't know, and I don't want to know before it's absolutely ready. If there's anything I've learned in this industry, especially with Marvel, it's that things are changing, always in flux, and you really can't be sure that something is going to happen until you're on set and you're about to do the scene. Even then, scenes get reshot, things get retooled, elements get added in post-production with visual effects and everything."

The actor also previously teased that his character may return sooner than we think:

“I’m such a big fan of both the characters and the performers that play them, so any collaboration is an opportunity for me to work alongside someone who, in their own way, is breaking barriers and at the very top of their game. I think that’s what excites me the most as a performer, [and] also as a fan. And who knows, they might see something sooner than you think. We’ll see.”

It’ll be nice to see some proper martial arts action in the MCU again. Liu went on to say that working on Barbie, in which he plays one of the many Kens, in between Marvel movies has been "really fulfilling" and he added:

"If and when that call comes in… of course, a sequel is going to happen. Of course, Kang Dynasty is going to happen. When that call comes, I will happily show up, read whatever I need to read, do whatever I need to prepare. But until then, I think the less I know the better."

Are you a fan of Lui’s Shang-Chi and would you want to see more of him in the MCU moving forward?
