This guy is exactly the kind of actor you want for a big marvel character, sweet, humble, charming, funny, and you can tell he really cares about his character. I can't wait to see him doing interviews with other MCU actors (I want him in team-up movies!)
His acting was not so great. He seemed trying to seem aloof and cool but it wasn't working and felt so forced
He's been in a popular sitcom in Toronto called Kim's Convinience. It's wild to see him go from that to marvel
He's definitely in team ups coming in the new year.
Avengers 5, young avengers if they do one
Well hey now, he may not be top tier, but it's their first outing and his first major piece.
Give him a bit, if Downey couldn't pull off his outing, imagine how bad tasting that would be
I haven't watched the movie yet, but he can be a bit more interesting, and I think he s trying to be someone else, maybe that's why he doesn't shine here
"You'll literally clap for anything. That's wonderful." LMFAO
Brutal truth
@Blia Yang how was that awkward?
I feel like that audience felt like they had to clap every time he was looking at them.
That was funny af
The low-key resentment Simu has for his Asian parents is so relatable lmao
I feel it, every first generation Asian kid knows what’s up
HAHAHAAH me too!
high five my fellow asian kids lmao
he has the EXACT chaos energy that is needed in order to fit in with the other marvel stars and I LOVE IT! I can't wait to see him in marvel's upcoming films
chaotic good
They all fit well

Anybody who’s watched Kim’s Convenience, knows how well of an actor Simu is. Absolutely cannot wait for the rest of the world to finally see how talented he is!
Kim’s was so amazing.
Hopefully they can get it back up and running, the universe isn’t dead because shannon is getting her own series in the same universe
@@mrhaz8939 WAIT WHAT REALLY PLS GIVE ME MORE INFO SHE WAS MY FAV CHARACTER
@@emilio556 The show is called Strays, it’s about how shannon looks for a different life, there’s also some other characters from Kim’s Convenience in it
@@emilio556 Nah it’s the same universe, the same director with a few other same characters from Kim’s Convenience
can’t believe this is his first talk show! he’s got so much star potential
Is this actually his first talk show? 😧
Have you seen him in Kelly Clarkson
@@vokasimid5330 Nerver heard of it 🤔
@@vokasimid5330 yeah I was gonna say that too but I guess this is his first late-night one 🤷🏻♂️
Only things to save your career is to play marvel studios become successful and people will remember your name
From Spiderman's costume act at kids birthday parties to starring as main cast in Marvel franchise. You know you have made it big!
he actually becomes spider man in the future cus shang chi gets spidey senses like spiderman (said by a marvel nerd friend)
@@AlexMa27 Miles Morales becomes Spider-Man.
All I can think about now is having Simu as one of the multiverse Spider-Man in "No Way Home" doing the pointing meme joke.
This needs to be in what if…? Shang chi worked as a b-day Spider-Man instead of a valet.
"Ive never actually heard someone applaud for being an accountant"
Oof - As an accountant, I feel that
Or an actuary.
I just saw some no name running in the recall with an ad talking about how he's the ONLY CPA running for Governor, and I thought, "When has anyone EVER wanted an accountant in charge of anything?"
Not that I'm flaming accountants. Accountants are great. At accounting.
Everyone needs accountants! We love our accountants!
This dude has the potential to become one of Marvel's most beloved actors, he's so charismatic but also so humble. Love him!!
@@Littlebit31
Shouldn't it technically be Canada's version of Chris Evans? He's definitely more Canadian than he is Asian. Obviously I'm not talking about his race/ethnicity.
@@ilsukdyang8134 yes but people are going to recognize his asian side more so
@@ilsukdyang8134 I mean yes but also no? xD if I'm not mistaken he's a "first gen"? as in the first generation of an Asian family growing up in a foreign country. Which makes his parents full Asian right? xD as a "first gen" with a lot of "first gen" friends myself, I would claim that even though we grew up in a "foreign" country and attended a different style of education, growing up with full Asian parents makes you keep quite a lot of the Asian mentality xD Of course, there are exceptions but that's my general experience.
@@ledoi5961
I'm a first gen as well, so it really depends on a number of factors. For instance, my parents came to the US when they were young (17 for my dad, 27 for my mom), so they were either at the tail end of adolescence or a young adult when they came to the States. This has most definitely had an impact on how "American" I am (very by the way, although I do have some very Asian tendencies). Also, most of my first gen friends were also "mostly American." Now another factor for my "Americanness" is that I pretty much went to school with races and ethnicities that weren't my own. Because of this, I became more American as a way to fit in. Many of the first gen Korean Americans I've known in my generation (older millenial, almost gen x) have had similar experiences. I mean it wasn't until middle school that I met another Asian at school that wasn't my brother. It wasn't until high school that I met another Korean at school that wasn't my brother. Pretty much all the first gen Korean Americans I knew growing up were from church, or were family (or family friends).
So, all this just to say, it depends. In my experience, it's mostly immigrants from my generation that still have that highly "Asian" mentality, but it's different for everyone. I'd also imagine it depends on which country you grew up in. Anyways, just going off what I know about Simu, he seems to have had a very similar experience to me growing up (he's also an older millenial, just not quite as old as me)
@@ilsukdyang8134 I'm a first generation Chinese-Canadian like Simu (i know my name on yt says otherwise but thats not my real name, its just an inside joke between my friends lol) and I definitely feel much more asian than I do canadian. Simu was born in China and immigrated to an area in Ontario that has a large asian population (so he grew up with peers that were also asian), so i imagine he feels the same
It's exciting to watch Simu's career start to really take off. He's about to become a super star.
Cool part is this guy actually knows how to fight and do stunts unlike a lot of American actors
@@eddhanks 😂😂😂
From what I'm seeing he has a good sense of humor and is very charismatic. I'm sure he will do very well in the marvel universe and with this credit he will definitely get more acting jobs from this.
Lol you're here too
@@parmbir6368 heck yea. I saw the thumbnail and was like.. I've never seen Simu in any interviews before.
The way his character carries himself in that bus scene recalls Jackie Chan’s use of props and comedy. And I’m well aware of the late Brad Allan’s involvement and that it was no accident.
Nah it's an inspiration from Bob's Nobody 2021, but then Nobody is a parody, a clone, a combo version of Denzel's Equalizer and Keanu's Jonh Wick
@@jackie-sd6lc do u know who brad allan is
RIP Brad Allan...
OMG YEAA!!! his looking something (maybe props to use) around the bus while panicking and fighting is really Jackie-chan like, and i LOVE it xD
@@jackie-sd6lc dude even the actor has said its inspiration from jackie chan and the director
His story about his parents' disapproval and mental gymnastics - it's so incredibly relatable. And loving how he's just casually repping Canada, Toronto, UWO, Kingston, Queens... just having them peppered in there make me feel so seen. Love the man.
I live in Kingston, degree from U of T, grad school Queen's. Just love this guy. Sweet, down-to-earth, respectful.
His parents are every parents ever, lol!
Canada sucks.
@@gigguh7755 I should not have laughed at this😂.
@@gigguh7755 you’re not important. Your opinion doesn’t matter
I never heard of him....but I like him already. He seems so down to earth.
Coming from 2 engineer parents and a degree in accounting ...to give it up and chase your dreams in Hollywood....only to end up at a cheap Spiderman for kids birthday parties must be depressing at some point.
Then the big break!!!!!
Congratulations bro.
Watch Kim’s convenience, he is really good in it
Kim's Convenience was great lol 🇨🇦🥳
Check out kim's convenience.
@@coronayona8320 he was speaking from the context of Asian comic book characters, how many Asian superheroes have you seen throughout the years?
I'm so stoked for him because during quarantine, he did live stuff on IG where he wasn't sure there would be any more work for him as an actor.
This is therapy for him, the way he keeps bringing up his parents 😂😂😂
I mean looking at the questions seems like what the show wanted lmao
The Asian parent experience
Everyone that has Asian parents would know...
Indians and Middle Easterners ARE Asian lmfao
@Lovely Yan Ikr lmfao! Nigerian parents i swear. He is so relatable
as an asian american this whole interview is too relatable
for sure, at first I was like he's probably exaggerating about his parents a little bit, but probably really only a little bit.
Is simu a Chinese name?
It sounds somehow more Japanese to me.
@@sdla690 yes, his chinese name is 刘思慕 (líu sīmù)
@@PlatinumVanguard lmao
@@sdla690 it could be. Those phonetics exist in mandarin. Probably more distance is that Liu is very chinese.
We are so proud of our Kim's Convenience Store boy. He has taken on such a big movie role--the first ever Asian lead Marvel hero. Canada is proud of you!! Can't wait to see the movie this weekend.
Jst saw the movie with my son. I was way more excited lol loved it. Such a great start to the nxt phase of the Marvel Universe.
Cant wait to see more👍🏽
As an American who loves Kim's Convenience, I look forward to watching this movie tonight now 😎
I watched Kim's Convenience for the first time a couple months ago, then later read about how the show ended because Simu Liu wanted to pursue other opportunities. What I did not expect was he was going to land a role as the first asian superhero. While on Kim's Convenience, his boss would often hit on him, I don't blame the boss. I mean, Simu is hot! And those fighting scenes looked so sweet.
@@thewilsonexperience it definitely didn’t end because of Simu. He has said quite a bit that he’s upset it ended this year because the plan was one more season and his character arc was cut short.
Jung!!! 🤗🤗🤗
As a Chinese-Canadian who has friends who went to Queen's University or even Western University, I feel so proud that Marvel has cast someone so close to home. It feels like I can do anything now because of Simu Liu, a real role model, with the same problems I have.
this right here. THIS is what true inclusion & representation is all about!! love to see it, keep going man 👏
Same problems such as engineer parents and an accounting degree. Must have been real hard in the streets of upper middle neighborhoods driving around in Lexus and Mercedes. Lol.
@@MrKinghuman my parents never had engineering degrees nor do they drive anything fancy. They work hard for what they have. I'm just saying that because of Shang-Chi, Asians, especially in Western countries, feel more represented. I've always loved Captain America and Iron Man. But having someone who looks like you and has the same background as you whose succeeding in a blockbuster movie is a game changer, especially to those kids growing up now. And the problems I'm referring to are family issues within asian families, where they are more strict and aren't open to supporting you, like what Simu has hinted at.
I got 10 rings ma!
@@GHFrankie well yeah, I've never had representation in Hollywood movies growing up. I go see movies to get inspired and having a Hollywood movie that casts Asians like Simu Liu, inspiration feels like it can be turned into action.
You're missing the point of what I mean by "I can do anything". Albeit true that Asians dominate those job markets in society, it doesn't really do much in terms of inspiring young Asians. Asians mostly get in those fields because of their parents and norms within Asian households.
Simu's got such great charisma!
😃
Pleasantly surprised seeing you here, really appreciate your work!
Marvel once again ace-ng it with their actors.
as a healthy secure male, i see Simu and my manhood shrivels up just a tiny bit. lolol
just kidding-he's awesome!
Charismatic guy
The Charisma on this dude is off-the-charts...
The reason it is off-the-charts is because it never made it on-the-charts.
In Asia he is not considered handsome .. he is just ok
I mean, I get you. But his charisma really shines beyond physical mainstream beauty.
He was superb as the lead!
@@hunlam8082 He's not talking about physical look. I am Asian and yes, he's got that charisma!
Simu: "Look, it's not rocket science..."
Simu's parents: *heavy sigh*
Damn his mom saying Simu looks like a gangster with a gold chain on is definitely something my mom would say lmao.
Well broski was wearing a chain from Ben baller, imagine his moms reaction if she saw Ben in person lol.
Asian moms who watched too many classic Hong Kong crime & gang movies when they were young lol
Honestly I’ll say this to my kids too 😂
@@xiaohu2853 me too!
When I was preparing to drive my Chinese mother to the emergency room at the hospital, she was criticizing what I was wearing. We are going to the emergency room, not a fashion show for chrissakes.
Simu is truly such a really cool nice guy, who literally can have the brightest future of becoming a big star
He shoulda gotten recognized way sooner. Love his vibe, hope he has more big roles
He already took a deep short cut than most action stars already. Shang Chi isn't even out yet and he started to become famous in 2019 because of Shang Chi. He's already famous in America but he's not famous in China 😂
And he has a cool name. :)
Definitely.
He’s going to be even more recognized now that he’s working on a project w/ some very big names. It’s Star Wars but in an anime fashion. Actors such as David Harbour, Henry Golding, Jamie Chung, & Jordan Fisher are going to be a part of it.
He is such a humble and amazing person!!!
*Justin Y* and *Some Guy With/Without a Mustache* wannabe
Dude I see your comment in almost 90% of video I watch , how come you are watching same video as I do ,lol 😂😂😅
@@gamerfufufu4337 same !! 90% it is
unlike you.
like his actions in the movie!! Bravo!!
Simu just need to hear “I’m sorry” from his parents. I can relate to that
As a parent, I will try to not be as nit picky! 😂
It took me & my mom more than 20 years to finally talk about things like this. She might not have said the word sorry but she reflected on it. Not my dad talking it out tho lol but at least he relented & let me do what I want now.
Sorry for what? They were parenting the best way they knew how. That’s what we need parents to do, right? I mean we’re not talking about beatings like what was sanctioned in the old days.
@@WiseOwl_so_1d_like_to_think the way they knew how didn't always mean better. Sorry for not being better parents, that's all.
Chinese parents do not apologize. Everything they do, in their eyes, is right.
I love how passionate Simu is about his character; we knew he wanted the role before he was even cast. As a Chinese-American who actually studied finance and accounting in college, I wish I followed a different path like Simu did lol. I'm so sad that I can't watch Shang-Chi on Opening Night
Yeah my family is convinced I'm going to be a doctor, I've always wanted to be an actor it just didnt seem possible. I'm African tho, wish me luck
@@Goonztz James Hong studied Civil Engineering and went on to be in a number of movies. You never know!
@Bzake there could be 100s of theatre schools around the neighborhood but if your parents says no, it means no. Do whatever after you graduate, they'd say. But deep inside you know you're in for a BIG lecture and a lifetime of scoffing at every choice you make if you dared to leave the job later in your life. Of course they say it all out of love and only want financial security for you and your to be family but it's also about their reputation. 😄😄
Be proud of your own path, accountants are the real heroes
@Bzake most people go to normal schools, and I could but doesn't mean my parents would let me
Simu Liu is the vibe: When a normal person, becomes a big star😂
He said .. “I had to struggle for a little bit and I took a number of side jobs, one of them, I was a dressed up Spider-Man for kids’ birthday parties!!”
All that hard times and constraints made him now one of Marvel’s superhero !! Damn what an incredible story, I’ve so much respect for this guy.. he absolutely earned it 👌
Could tell the host didn't have a lot of info about Marvel compared to Jimmy but Simu was still so kind and sweet during the interview, love him so much
Simu is handsome and talented.
Sean Hayes was not a very good interviewer. You could tell he was just reading off a list of questions he memorized that were given to him to ask.
@@davidpatton7205 he's funny enough but it was mostly just him going "uhh and umm- your, your parents are from China, and --and they moved to, uh, um-eh- eee--uh... Toronto...???".
Look I know we tend to make fun of talk show hosts like Fallon with his fake laughter and Kimmel with his own set of quirks but you really tend to see how when you have guest interviewers... they aren't the greatest at engaging interviews. I mean there were a couple great interviews like Samuel L. Jackson doing one over a call on Tenet with John-David Washington, but that really is all I can remember, and that's cause they're very close, family friends.
Simu is already a star on Canada. Watch his show "Kim's Convenience", it's amazing. He's been the same nice guy always!
“Kim’s Convenience” is one of my fav Netflix show that I actually binged watched this summer (yeah, late in the game, I know)!!! 🤗
Love that show!
Yes
Nobody wants to watch some lame asian lead
@@AyanAli-py7ci That's you lame thinking
i love when marvel casts relatively unknown people as opposed to well known actors....all of them turn out great...
Out of interest, how would you characterise the casting of Brie Larson? She already had the Oscar but would you say that she was high-profile at the time?
They have done it almost every time even Chris Hemsworth , Chris Evans , RDJ etc
This comment will definitely draw Brie Larson into this. I agree that a relatively unknown actress would have been a humble and likeable CapMarvel
@@rejectedideas1827 To you maybe. I love Brie as Carol.
@@heyokaikaggen6288 They definitely go after talent too
When they said representation matters, this is what we meant. I have never been so related before to a Hollywood star mostly a marvel leading actor. When he talked about his parents being typical Asian parents, I understand it soooooo much. He is so humble, kind, and got such great charisma. Kudos to you, Simu!!!
As an Asian the story about his parents during his premiere is very relatable
The most realistic part of being asian

Lol my parents are the exact same way. I got my first straight A’s semester, ever last term. I thought my parents would be super excited, then my mom was happy, but then told me it wasn’t all straight A’s since i had 2 A- lol
As a Filipino-Chinese person, I'm so excited for this film and having Simu representing the Asian community in one of my favorite movie universes, the MCU, is just very exciting! Can't wait to watch this movie and have my mind blown! ❤️
You will absolutely love it! I saw it last Monday at the premiere and I cannot wait to watch it again!

I was so sad it got cancelled
It was so good and then they just ended it ;-;
@@mridul7639 what!!! Cancelled? Because of this?
@@yeepett Yes pretty sure it's cancelled and the cast wasn't happy. I don't think this was the reason though.
@@mridul7639 I really enjoyed this show. Sad…
I’m not a big sitcom guy, but Netflix randomly suggested Kim’s Convenience for my profile. It about the generational gap between an old Korean Canadian immigrant and his adult Westernized children. It ended unceremoniously due to behind the scenes politics and COVID, but I’m glad to see Simu Liu went on to bigger and better things.
Me too!! I love Kim's convenience!
Same!
Now I really want to see a Disney + series featuring a Variant version of Shang-Chi who was raised in Boston and who has a thick Boston accent. "I got my ten rings, Ma!"

It seems like a major talking point was establishing Simu Liu's "Chinese" status. People have been saying the role should have been given to a Chinese person. He *IS* Chinese. He was born in China and his parents were as well. I am going to give this movie my support. I don't think the people who complained would have seen the next Marvel movie regardless of who played in it.
he was born in china wtf lol
@@kvu8843 Yes, he was born in Harbin, China
Yes born in china came to canada as a baby, when he is asked he says hes canadian.
@@wilber2020 obviously people should only recognize people’s passport as their nationality instead of their race
For his 1st talk show, he's very comfortable on stage. I'm so excited for his movie!
That's CONFIDENCE.....without the EGO.
bro’s an actor of course he’s going to be confident with a large amount of people watching him
For real, he has so much charisma.
@@BeastedRon confident yes but that much energy and enthusiasm not every actor have them I mean there are many actors who don't talk much or interview
@@BeastedRon Nah, fam. A stage actor & a movie actor are different. He's a movie actor which means he's not usually infront of a live audience. Watch Jacob Elordi's interview on here & u'll see, even though he's also an actor, he was nervous.
He sounds like an honest fellow.. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves.
You dont know him in real life. Maybe he is a jerk
Seeing that he’s been trashing on the previous martial arts superstars that have come before him while stealing their fighting sequences, I’d say he’s a pretty bad person.
Well Dan we all do the same thing invariably in one way or the other right? What makes us different from him? Just that he's now a 'movie' star so it's obvious we know more about him than he knows about himself. :)
@@penguindb0912 "Stealing the fight sequence "yeah sure... Because he's in command of the choreographys
@@skiptrack326 Maybe he could be. Were you in the bus with him? Breaking the bus in half might have made you late for work. Damn it Shang Chi.
When Simu said his parents were "piling on anxiety", I thought they were disappointed that he wasn't Doctor Strange instead. Because the asian parents always want their kids to be doctors.
It's so fantastic to see someone who was in the Toronto film scene, going to classes, doing short films, creating roles for himself and now by paving the way many other asian men / women and or non-binary folk in AMAZING leading roles. Saw Shang-Chi today and saw Simu's short films over the years in TO. So freaking great to see someone work their way to the top. The movie was SOOOO GOOD.

4:15 "you'll literally clap at anything" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 one of the only interviewees I've ever seen actually acknowledge this 😂😂
dude that Boston accent was accurate AF. I'd pay to see his Goodwill Hunting audition as Matt Damon. The movie looks wicked smart.
I got the 10 rings ma, lol
I'm not from the US so I know very little about regional accents, but for a second I've really heard Matt Damon. It was a great impression.
I wish nothing but the best for Simu Liu, he is already a big hit for not giving up on his dreams and manifesting it

Simu is the most humble guy ever. Refreshing to see. Congratulations on his success.
Can't believe Simu has gone from Kim's Convenience to becoming the next massive Marvel superhero! I'm so proud!! (Also, Canada represent!)
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
hmmm he got a typical chinese look , china will relate to it
This movie is gonna be EPIC! I can’t wait!
And I love Simu. He’s so full of energy and he’s funny!
Yea shangchi would definitely do as well as black panther pre-covid
Same think
I guess he s the asian black panther!
I agree this movie is gonna be fantastic!! He will be a big part of marvel going forth. Seems like a great guy and down to earth.
Next weeeeeeeeeek!!!
As an Asian-American with Chinese-Taiwanese parents, all of these family references deeply resonated with me. All my and my brothers’ accomplishments came with Simu’s parents’ same commentary. Nonetheless, it is so rewarding to see how far Simu has come throughout his acting career.
Hey! I am an American born Singaporean raised with Chinese-Taiwanese parents too. I can definitely relate to you and to Simu. What he said and all or most of the references with Asian immigrant family background and etc. And how we have to work so hard for where we want to be in our lives and so on. I could go on all day but its nice to meet another fellow human who's so relatable and personable too, I mean Simu and perhaps you too! Anyway, good day to you 😁👍🤙
He's so funny, charismatic and very articulate, what a charmer!
i love how he's talking about how his parents is the literal typical asian parents.
Yeah 🤦😂😂😂
I'm sure their perspective must be: 'You see, you see that bit in the movie where your father's disappointed in you? You would never have been so good at that without us, we were teaching you Method Acting all along.' They didn't just read engineering textbooks, they read Stanislavski too...
Yup 😂😂😂
Idk I feel like the interviewer was kinda pushing him in that direction. Theres a new lead superhero I want to know more about him!
He was born to become a star, I think he really can be one of the most loved mcu actors, he has so much charisma omg
I watched him in Netflix Kim's Convenience Store as Jung. Good thing he got his big break. 👏
Same! Loved him in Kim's. He deserves this role.
Appa likes this.
I love that show! I was so excited to see him in a Marvel movie. It was one of the best I’ve seen!
"mickey mouse, the president of disney" is probably the best thing anyone has said ever
Yay he's my fave from Netflix Kim's convenience
Same
I love Kim's too!
Yes 😃😃
ajushi must be so proud to close his store to go to the premiere hahaha! If it wasn't for him being hard, Jung wouldn't made it
I love that show...
Sean can have his own talk show. He would make an incredible host.
They’re both very very intelligent people, and they have no idea what happened to me… I felt that lmfao
I've loved him ever since Kim's convenience which is a great show in itself. He's awesome and totally relatable
Shang chi, and the legend just begins. Can't wait to see this movie!
Me too i just love underrated street level heroes like shang chi, heroes for hire etc. Overpowered characters like Sentry & cpt marvel are boring
@@henrytm188 lmaoo Shang chii isn't a street level hero
seeing Simu on Wong Fu a couple years ago with his own directed film, and now he’s an actor of one of the most top tier franchises is crazy!! you’re a role model man can’t wait to see more of what the future holds for you.
Marvel has found their new Chris Evans (personality-wise).
Agree 🥺
Agree
Ionce he got experience he will lead the team for sure
@@tousiflbgaming6021 I'm sure Shang-chi would be a great leader for the Avengers.
@@mohamedfawzy5843 absolutely because he doesnt have any selfishness he can die to sve people and most important he combat skill is just like cap
Wow I was blown away how good this movie was! Shang Chi in my opinion is the best origin movie to date in the MCU and it was so refreshing to see. I saw it for a second time tonight and it was just as incredible the second time. The fight scenes and cinematography are top tier. The entire cast is spectacular and I can’t wait to watch it again!
Literally same! I'm going to see it again next week and I literally can't wait!
Yall making me excited to watch it
Itshd version will go crazyyyyy
"I got my 10 rings Ma!" Ok, this guy is hilarious
Haha yea :D
He literally has such STAR energy. Such a good interview!! I’m so excited 😍😍
I saw this movie twice already. Simu can do both action scenes as well as legitimately act. He is about to become a huge star.
Simu killed it as Shaun he made me connect with a character just like Chris evans and Robert did. he is Shang Chi now and forever!
For anyone unaware: Queens and Western are GREAT schools in Canada!
I saw Simu at the IMAX early Fan Screening at TCL CHINESE in Hollywood Wednesday evening. He came unannounced by surprise. It was a great and the crowd went bonkers. Oh, and that movie called, Shang-Chi… easily Top 5 or even Top 3 MCU movie of all time. That’s how good it is, and don’t watch anymore trailers if you want to go in fresh. There’s some nice surprises in the movie.
I was there too! I strongly agree. The movie was great and it was cool to see Simu there. I was hoping maybe he'd be there after too to sign the posters we got but he was probably busy.
i love that he highlights the up and down relationship with his parents in such a comedic way! hella relatable and inspirational
Who’s here from Netflix and Kim’s Convenience 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
So exciting to have Asian representation. Nearly every Asian can identify with his experience with his parents. Am I right?
@The Pedestrian Inc. damn bro, who hurt you?
@@bestspeedruns3219 damn bro, whatchu mean?
We don't
Spider man will win it
@@eshanbhatt2510 he was prob replying to a deleted comment
You got to be trolling
Bro that fight scene somehow has me EVEN MORE HYPED FOR THE MOVIE!
As a proud Filipino, Chinese, Spanish American; seeing Simu casted for this movie is so moving and inspiring 🥺. I’m just so thrilled to have Asian representation as the LEAD in a major Marvel production. This has been a long time coming. Simu is so perfect for this role and I just know all of his hard work is going to pay off. The Asian community needs to come together and support this movie! Opening weekend, let’s all go full throttle! Disney needs to understand we aren’t just an “interesting experiment”. We are everlasting and can/will bring in massive revenue. Congratulations Simu! I cannot wait to see this movie! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎬🎬🎬❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥✨✨✨
Shang Chi is BRILLIANT. a movie I’ll watch repeatedly.
Shoutouts to Sean Hayes for literally having his first question not be "so where are you from?" unlike Jimmy Kimmel, just because Simu is Asian.
I find it really distracting to watch Sean Hayes, I keep expecting Karen to show up.
@@heyokaikaggen6288 🤣🤣🤣
If Sean had asked that question, I would've said "Canada!" if I was Simu
Well, it would have been weird since he had just mentioned it in the intro.
Well Jimmy actually did his homework on his guest so he doesn't ask stupid questions where you can just google it Sean Hayes didn't even know who's Kevin Feige for god sake lol
We enjoyed him at kim's Convenience was so surprised he got this major role! Congratulations Simu!
@sherry hodges I thought he was Korean lol
I’m still laughing about the comments about his parents. It’s clear where he gets his personality
I think Marvel finds people WHO PERFECTLY FIT into THEIR CHARACTER.
Literally waiting for the movie🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Watched it a few hours ago. It was great! =)
He has a very wholesome presence, i watched the interview smiling
I myself am Chinese-born, Toronto-raised, and an aspiring actor. Having someone as awesome as Simu to look up to is a dream come true. I can’t wait to see the movie.
P.S. I didn’t go to the same high school as Simu but I know a lot of people who did, not at the same time as him but still, small world!
way to go bro. hope you get your break through soon.
Keep it up Susanna!!
Sooner or later you’ll be co-starring with Simu for all we know! 😊
I really like his attitude, as u see, he seems genuine, gentle and fun; i guess it all comes from his real personality
Brother...I am rootin' for you and this movie so hard!!! I am going to be 59 years old and I loved Shang Chi as a kid. I hope this launches your career for you and I wish you nothing but success!!
You guys who want more, he’s been a star in Canada for ages. Binge “Kim’s Convenience”.
Hello how are you doing
Appa would be so proud of him now 🙌🏼🙏🏼
I want ShangChi to meet Spiderman and teach him way of the spider
You remember that!!!! I feel like everyone in the world forgot that he taught Spider-Man martial arts! Even the writers of the books!!! "let's have Shang-Chi teach spider-man kung fu since he relied too much on his spider sense....let's train him for days and days, and have him use it in the books...AND LET'S NEVER SPEAK OF IT AGAIN."
💯🙌
Fax 💯
He's already worked with SHE-HULK!
In the mid credit scene he meets carol and bruce through hologram displays. So he is definitely joining the avengers
That was one of the best interviews I’ve seen. The conversation kept flowing This guy is so incredibly humble and intelligent and also so Canadian
I love how he just flows with the conversation. I can see him be a Comedian, as well as an actor portraying a darker role in movies. His spectrum in entertainment is immerse
I was eating dinner when he talked about how his dad was like "...you know, what we did...made you stronger..."--and i almost spit out my food laughing because i could totally relate. Simu's the muthafnckin man. Cant wait to watch Shang-Chi as well as all of his future MCU appearances.
I loved him in Kim's convenience. He is just a humble, genuine, charismatic guy with a great sense of humor. He will fit right into the Marvel family. So happy for him and hope Shang Chi is a huge hit.
Kim’s Convenience is a great show. Our Sauga boy has grown up. 🤣
“I got my 10 rings, ma!“ His face after he said that looked like he expected a dart to the neck from Marvel for revealing a spoiler haha
this film has 10 rings in it? Spoiler alert please
@@JohnK_ he doesn’t have them… then he does
He's right, the stretching is the worst. Can't believe he was able to do *that much* in such a short amount of time.
100 % sure he's got a martial arts instructor, otherwise It'll be useless as he mentioned in his interview not being flexible when it comes to fighting. Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan went through years of martial arts and gymnastic acrobatic training to be where they're at.
Asian works so hard to not disappoint. American just fix it with lots of cuts and camera shaking and and still gets a ton more approval.
He's so charismatic 😍😍
More Simu Liu interviews please!! I love this guy!! He’s so articulate, funny and charming yet seems down to earth. Huge fan of Kim’s Convenience and Shang Chi, and it’s just great to see beneath all that success is a really cool guy.
Hello Mrs thank you for following me thank you for your time thank you for your support and encouragement I'm simuliu famous celebrity from Canada your profile got my attention I decided to say hi I hope you are not angry ?
So excited to watch this guy's career completely blow up after Shang Chi. Dude seems humble and kind, so I'm so happy for his success!
416 here. Simu is so much the Toronto guy it just ouzzes from him. He is like so many guys from here, of all backgrounds and I hope he never looses that part of him. From all accounts, long before Marvel he's a good guy and I wish him from EY via SC.
905 and can’t stop smiling watching him because he’s familiar in a subconscious way. His success feels like another success for so many intersections, Canadian as one.
Question: why do people from the GTA like to state their area code?
As an accountant who hates my job, I envy you Simu Liu.
Although you’re also living hope for our breed, and for that I thank you.
OMG this guy is amazing
So much Charisma. Funny, humble, good speaking voice, nice style and intelligent. Marvel never disappoints in their casting choices. ❤️👍🏻
From the moment he walked in, dancing , and then the shining martial artist fighting, I Knew a gigantic action movie star is around the corner, Congrats to Simu ,
