Los Angeles, August 15, 2021: Simu Liu, the leading star of Marvel's upcoming superhero film, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has called out the CEO of Disney Bob Chapek for calling the theatrical release of the film an "experiment" amid the testing times of the covid-19 pandemic.

During a Walt Disney Company earnings call this week, Disney CEO Bob Chapek called the current climate for releasing movies in theaters a challenge. In addition, he said that Shang-Chi would be "an interesting experiment for us because it's got only a 45-day window for us". For Liu, who has been quite vocal on social media about a number of topics, the comment from Disney doesn't sit quite right.



Liu wrote, "We are not an experiment. We are the underdog; the underestimated. We are the ceiling-breakers. We are the celebration of culture and joy that will persevere after an embattled year. We are the surprise. I'm fired the f**k up to make history on September 3rd; JOIN US".



Shang-Chi and The Legend Of The Ten Rings is the first Asian superhero film. A lot of people want to see Shang-Chi succeed because of what it will mean for the larger cinematic landscape. But, for Simu Liu, this is also a story that needs to be told as it relates to representation as well.

Shang Chi is scheduled to debut in theaters on September 3 for an exclusive 45-days of the theatrical window. The movie is projected to score between $35M - $55M in the opening domestic weekend. The makers are hoping to beat the odds and be the first step on the road back to some bigger box office totals during the pandemic.

Stay tuned...
