The actor said, “Oh man, I don’t know to be honest. I mean, those things are so above my pay grade. I just wanna continue to be a fan of it. You know, when I get a call of like, ‘Hey, this is what you’re in and this is where you’re going to show up. And, this is when you’re going to need to be blacked out for.’ That’s kind of generally what tends to happen.”
Liu opened up that he would love to see Shang-Chi being a part of the mainstream MCU, but for now, the decision depends on the executives.
