Shang-Chi star Simu Liu recently opened up about Michelle Yeoh's potential return in the long-gestated sequel.
Soon after the film was released in 2021 and became a major hit in theaters, Marvel Studios started developing a sequel with the key creatives back on board. However, since then, we haven't heard any updates regarding its development.
Fans have been wondering when the sequel will get the official greenlight as Marvel continues to remain mum on the details up to this day, but they are hoping that they will get some news soon.
Shang-Chi's Simu Liu on Working with Michelle Yeoh and Her Potential Sequel Involvement
In his recent appearance at a Fan Expo Canada panel, Liu addressed working with Yeoh in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and how he was "nervous" filming their training scene.
"When we shared our scenes together, and I had the opportunity to fight her, it was more of a dance fight. First of all, I was really nervous and, second of all, she's so petite and graceful, and I just felt like a big clumsy chunk of meat just flopping around," he said.
"It worked for the scene, right? She's trying to kind of teach me to find harmony with my body, and it's very Tai Chi oriented. So it's very flowy, she's kind of guiding you through, and I'm like stumbling."
Liu continued, "I didn't have to do a lot to get into character, and she's great. Just the absolute best kind of person to hang out with."
Since appearing in the first film, Yeoh has become one of the most in-demand actresses thanks to her historic Oscar win for Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Will we see her again in the sequel? Marvel has not confirmed her return yet, but Liu is hoping that she will get involved again
"She’s on top of the world and just the queen of everything," he said.
Yeoh's Ying Nan made a great impression in the first film so it certainly would be great if she'll return, but for now, let's wait for any official update about the sequel from Marvel and hopefully, it will move forward very soon.
