Simu Liu is one of the popular actors around the globe. As of late while looking at breaking in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Shang-Chi, he spoke about his audition where he wasn’t told about Martial Arts by the director Daniel Destin Cretton.
As quoted by Koi Moi, Simu said, “At no point did he bring up the martial arts. At no point did he bring up the need to be anything other than human. He was looking for somebody who really exemplified the uncomfortable, insecure, anxiety of what it means to be a human being. I came out of the casting office literally feeling like I was going to throw up because I never thought that I had a chance before that moment. After meeting him, I was, ‘Oh, I think I nailed this thing.’”
Adding further, he recalled a life-changing call from Kevin Feige, saying, “I remember that call very, very distinctly, though. It was July 16th, 2019, about 6:30 p.m., early evening. I had just woken up from a nap, and I was in my underwear, eating shrimp crackers. My dog was napping in my apartment, and I just remember getting a call from an unknown number in Burbank, California. And just hearing Kevin Feige’s beautiful, booming voice on the other end, telling me that my life was going to change forever, was pretty memorable,”
