The Marvel star’s career in the MCU seems to be stuck in turmoil. After repeated dates pushback and delays,Shang Chi 2has no release date in sight. Even the star himself exclaimed certain uncontrollable reasons are to be blamed for the movie’s delay. As per recent reports, it was claimed that the movie might release afterAvengers, although whichAvengersmovie to be exact was not revealed.
WithAvengers 5to be released on May 2026, andAvengers 6sometime later in 2027, it seems plausible thatShang Chiwould no longer be a part of the multiverse saga but would instead be transferred into Phase 7 of Marvel. In the midst of all this, it is fortunate that Simu Liu’s agent convinced him to doBarbiesince it seems to be his only ‘lifeline’ as of now.
“Before I read the script, I had an agent that was like ‘You need to do Barbie, I bet my career on this.’ Basically, he was like, ‘Fire me if this movie doesn’t turn out well,’ and I was like ‘Ok, dude.’”
And as the big day draws closer, we can’t help but be excited to finally witness theBarbiemagic unfold on the silver screen, and whether or not it would help Simu Liu’s career when all seems to be lost for him.
