Shang-Chi Star Simu Liu Opens Up About Autograph Harassment Incident

Shang chi legend of ten rings

Simu Liu, star of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, spoke out about being hounded by an autograph hunter recently. The Marvel Cinematic Universe star shared a snapshot of the suspect in their vehicle on his personal Twitter account, detailing his ordeal. "Best photo I could grab," says Liu's description, "but these professional autograph hunters followed us out of the Philly event and then dumped soda on our glass." "They immediately dashed to their car and removed the front licence plate, making it impossible for us to identify them." Liu goes on to say that someone in the audience was able to photograph the occurrence and that he intends to make an official report with the police.


"Look, I'm trying to have a real moment with my audience," Liu continued. "If you come to my events and harass me or make me or my fans uncomfortable, there's no chance in hell I'm going to sign for you. Don't cross that line."

This isn't the first time Liu has spoken out against trolls hoping to get his autograph. Due to the offensive content of the Master of King Fu comics, the Kim's Convenience star stated in early 2022 that he would not be signing any of them. These comics contain many outdated cultural prejudices, while being some of Shang-first Chi's appearances in the Marvel Universe.

In 2021, Liu's portrayal in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings received rave acclaim from both fans and reviewers. While the film was a huge hit for Marvel Studios, it's unclear when fans will have another chance to meet Shang-Chi, but a sequel is confirmed to be in the works with an as-yet-unknown release date. It's just so satisfying to feel the motor revving and think to yourself, "Wow, wonderful, now we get to tell more stories, go deeper into the characters, and hopefully deliver more of those amazing combat sequences." "When questioned about his feelings about the future Shang-Chi film, Liu stated.

While no narrative specifics for the forthcoming Shang-Chi film have been published, Liu has claimed that he has some huge plans for the character's next journey. "Another significant question I have is how Shaun fits into the MCU as a whole. What kind of person are you going to see?" Liu inquired. "What type of weird mash-ups are you talking about? Easter eggs, what kind of tie-ins? I'm in the dark just like everyone else, so I have no idea what's going on, but I'm thrilled to get started."

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
