Awkwafina and Tony Leung (who will play supervillain The Mandarin) will co-star in the film, which will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. The character of Shang-Chi, based on the Marvel Comics superhero, is often referred to as a master of Kung-Fu, having been trained in martial arts by his father from a young age. So basically, what I'm trying to say is that I'm really happy that I'm not a doctor!" ![]() "All I've ever wanted to do growing up is to make them proud. "My parents emigrated from China to Canada 25 years ago with nothing except the hopes and dreams to build a family and to build a life for their kids," Liu said. Shang-Chi lead Simu Liu at Comic-Con 2019 My parents emigrated from China to Canada 25 years ago with nothing except the hopes and dreams to build a family and to build a life for their kids. He won an ACTRA ensemble award the following year as part of the Kim's Convenience cast. In 2017, he was nominated for both a Canadian Screen Award and an ACTRA Award for his role on the TV series Blood and Water. Since then, he has had credits on Fresh Off The Boat, Orphan Black, Slasher and Bad Blood among other series. He began acting in 2012 with a role on the TV series Nikita. Simu Liu thanks his parents in 2017 for building his Canadian life: When he was laid off within a year, he opted for a new career path. He graduated from the Richard Ivey School of Business at Western University and began working at an accounting firm. Liu, 30, left China at the age of five and was raised in Mississauga, Ont. LET’S GET TO WORK BABYYYYY!!!- upcoming film marks Marvel's first feature with an Asian lead. While this fun BTS video showed off a few of his dance moves that help prove this point, we’ll have to wait a bit to actually see the actor as Ken on the big screen as Barbie is set to hit theaters on July 21.Now that the craziness is over, the work begins.There is so much at stake here we are fighting for our identity, for our right to be seen, to BELONG.Eternally grateful to Marvel, to Kevin, Jonathan and Destin for this gift. ![]() Overall, Simu Liu 100% has the Ken-ergy and knows how to own it. Considering their apparent rivalry and their need to “beach off” each other, it would make sense that the Kens fight it out through dance.įollowing these two teasers, Barbie’s main trailer showed off its bonkers plot and a smidge of the “giant blowout party, with all the Barbies and planned choreography and a bespoke song.” This snippet included the cast of Barbie doing moves that I assume Liu is learning in this video, and it looks epic. Then in the second trailer for Barbie, we find out that there are at least two dance numbers in the movie as we see Barbie hitting the dance floor for one second, and then we see the Kens in what I’d assume is a dance battle. In the first teaser for Barbie, we got a brief look at Simu Liu rocking an all-black look and busting a move. When it comes to these dance moves, and how they apply to Barbie, we don’t know exactly how they play into the plot, but we have seen glimpses of the dance numbers throughout the film’s trailers. So, when you take all this plus his fun BTS video learning some sick moves into account, I’d say this actor is living his best life as a Ken. Also, the Marvel actor has been open about how he waxed his body to play Ken, truly committing to that doll-like look. For example, he shared shitless vacation photos with his girlfriend from Sicily, noting that “Ken took his Barbie” on a trip. Like Gosling, Simu Liu has been enthusiastic about Baribe’s release and has really committed to the bit of being a Ken. I’d say this isn’t just a “glimpse” of Ken-ergy, it’s major Ken-ergy. Results are optimistic but further study is required. Subject is beginning to show glimpses of Kenergy. ![]()
