It's such a fun experience for him that Simu didn't really have a long-term plan but he really loved doing this so he thinks why not just kind of keep doing it for a while and just kind of see what happens.

Simu was the first Asian to be cast in the marvel cinematic universe.

After getting Shang-Chi Simu Liu

Simu Liu cannot even describe it, it felt like a Cinderella moment like just a totally ordinary guy was just plucked out of his life and dropped into the biggest stages.

He had always loved doing martial arts and he has a background in gymnastics as well obviously Kim's convenience is maybe not the place to show it every day.

But Simu thinks of being an artist as constantly kind of reinventing himself and showing different parts of you to the world and trusting yourself and he is also excited to get into the training component as well. 


Simu has learned backflips he practices martial arts, stunt training he had done a couple of stunt jobs in Toronto. endless hours of  just training and shooting, and the stretching that was far the most painful 

he training for this role longer he has been training for something martial art and has been training for this all his life, his ancestors belong to china, being an actor you have to train more the other people like Simu Liu.

There are no other title heroes in the MCU that look like him, Simu liu biography is amazing, how hard a time he has faced but in the end it was all worth it.

Shang-chi Halloween

When Simu was a kid and deciding who to dress up as for Halloween he didn't really have necessarily an option that directly he was Green Lantern, Captain America, and other superheroes because he loved superheroes.

He thinks that there are our modern-day Greek gods you have like the Damocles and like Achilles well today we have Thor and we have Captain America these like larger-than-life legendary people it feels crazy to me.


Now hope that in a couple of years people will be able to dress up as Shang-chi and his hope is that it doesn't stop there because it can't stop there Shang-chi is only one and there are many that have to come after him.

He starting to realize just how much stuff he needed but don't actually you can get by with very little being minimalistic and it's actually kind of a better way to live.  


 Motivation simu liu jounery

Simu was struggling just trying to figure out how to set new goals because it was like one or one goal in life had just been reached.

When Simu was an accountant the one thing that he was scared of admitting, he wasn't passionate about what he was doing, he was scared of admitting, Simu had always been interested in performance and in acting.

When you start to give yourself permission to feel these things and when you start to be unapologetic about the goals that you said your life is just gonna become more focused as you move to achieve that goal.


It happens on a subconscious level mean of course there are active things that you can do as well but he just feels like the more focused on vision is the more focused life will be.

As an actor when you're doing your visualization exercises don't care about the future I will get or not, but when you get it's beyond anything you could not have ever imagined.

Simu thinks it was part of my visualization exercise all those years ago but this is we've officially reached a level of atmosphere beyond anything that He had ever imagine.
