Simu Liu : (5) " Kids growing up today will have what I never did growing up, which is somebody across that screen reflecting who they are, and showing them what is possible. " - Simu Liu " The first time I tried on Shang-Chi’s superhero suit – Marvel has never had an Asian lead, so that was such a rare and impactful moment, for me as an actor but also for people who look like me. I nearly cried. It was so emotional. " - Simu Liu " It’s hard enough to celebrate being Asian in normal times.

" - Simu Liu " Just because there’s one Asian American superhero in the MCU, it does not by any means imply that our fight is finished right there. " - Simu Liu
