Other celebs participating in the Mayim Bialik-hosted primetime outings include Michael Cera (Arrested Development), Aisha Tyler (Criminal Minds), Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond), Constance Wu (Fresh Off the Boat), Patton Oswalt (seemingly everything these days), B.J. Novak (The Office), comedienne Iliza Shlesinger and WNBA star/commentator Candace Parker.

Which is crazy since the first one came out in 2021. Looking back on the earlier phases there were 3 Iron Man movies in the space of 5 years. But we are only getting 2 Shang Chi movies over maybe 6 or 7 years. Edited May 7 by Kel Varnsen 1 Link to comment
tv echo August 11 Share August 11 From D23 - Shang-Chi characters will be featured in Marvel Zombies... Shang-Chi's MCU Return In Marvel Zombies Revealed In First-Look Footage Details Ross Tanenbaum Aug 10, 2024 https://screenrant.com/shang-chi-marvel-zombies-footage-description-d23/ Quote The footage features Shang-Chi fighting hordes of zombies alongside his father, Wenwu a.k.a. The Mandarin, who sacrifices himself as Shang-Chi is bitten. The Ten Rings save Shang-Chi's life, before a time jump to 5 years later. In an apocalyptic future, Katy and Shang-Chi fight a Skrull biker gang in a Mad Max-style sequence. The footage shown at D23 confirmed that Shang-Chi - with his zombified arm protected by the Rings - Katy, and Jimmy Woo are the main characters of the upcoming show. * * * The footage also featured the return of Death Dealer, the high-ranking warrior who died in Shang-Chi. The series also features similar animation to What If...?, which included a zombie episode in its first season. Marvel Animation has not yet confirmed a release date for Marvel Zombies, but revealed that it will consist of four episodes, will have a TV-MA rating (the second after Echo), and will release on Disney+. * * * While it's great to see Liu's hero return in two more projects, there is still no update on when he will return in a live-action project. Three years after the first film's premiere, Marvel still hasn't confirmed that Shang-Chi 2 is in development. Liu has said it's happening, but Marvel Studios remains quiet. Link to comment
tv echo August 28 Share August 28 (edited) Simu Liu was at Fan Expo Canada last weekend... Fan Expo and the 5 things to learn about Mississauga and Marvel super hero Simu Liu By Glenn Hendry August 26, 2024 https://www.insauga.com/fan-expo-and-the-top-5-things-to-learn-about-mississauga-and-marvel-super-hero-simu-liu/ Quote Most difficult stunts The bus fight on the streets of San Francisco tops the list for Liu, who remembers the scene – one the best action sequences in the entire Marvel Comic Universe – where he’s swinging from the roof of the bus back inside to continue his fight with Razor Fist (Florian Munteanu), a member of the Ten Rings who has a machete blade for a right hand. Liu, who performed many of his own stunts in the film, said most of the other tough stunts were “the one’s you don’t think were all that difficult.” * * * Turning the exploitive origins of Shang-Chi upside down The character was created in 1973 and contained plenty of racial and stereotypical tropes typical of the times, including his father being Dr. Fu Manchu, also known as the Mandarin – which Marvel addressed in a way in Iron Man 3. It was first created by non-Asian people, Liu said, so when it came time to make the movie director Daniel Cretton, the writers and Marvel “worked together to bring Shang-Chi “into the modern world.” “He was a caricature and in some ways, making him a valet mades him less badass, but he became more relatable,” Liu explained. “We’re paying respect to the culture.” * * * Liu fielded numerous other questions from Dandridge during the panel discussion with the action hero asked about working with legendary Asian actors like Tony Leung (who played his father and the leader of the Ten Rings terrorist organization) and Michelle Yeoh, who played his aunt, in Shang-Chi. “My favourite behind the scenes stuff was talking with Tony between takes,” he said of his work with the 62-year-old Hong Kong acting legend. “We talked about life, the movies and extreme sports. The man snowboards every day.” As for Yeoh, who catapulted to Hollywood fame with roles in the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies and 2000’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Liu remembers being “really nervous” in his sparring sessions. “She’s so graceful and I’m like … not.” Edited August 28 by tv echo Link to comment
