Even Big Marvel Stars Like Simu Liu Get Starstruck On The Set Of Avengers: Doomsday, Sometimes: ‘I’m Human, After All’

The upcoming movie *Avengers: Doomsday* has an amazing cast that has fans thrilled. Marvel kept everyone guessing for hours as they revealed the actors involved, and it was a fun experience. Having so many popular actors and characters together in one film is going to be incredible, and even the cast members themselves are excited about it.

Simu Liu is preparing to reprise his role as Shang-Chi in *Avengers: Doomsday*, marking only his second time playing the character in a live-action film. He recently told the Japanese publication The River that he’s feeling nervous about filming alongside so many talented actors. He shared his thoughts (translated from Japanese using Google Translate)…

I’m experiencing a lot of different emotions – a blend of happiness and excitement, but also some worry and nervousness. It’s natural to feel that way, being human. I’m surrounded by fantastic people, which sometimes makes me anxious, but their support makes even challenging days feel less like work.

Although a follow-up to *Shang-Chi* was announced, it hasn’t happened yet, which seems to be bothering actor Simu Liu. He’ll be returning to the Marvel universe in *Doomsday*, and Destin Daniel Cretton, who directed *Shang-Chi*, is now working on the *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* project.

Simu Liu is still relatively new to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Hollywood’s biggest stars, especially compared to established actors like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth, whom he says he’s incredibly impressed to be working with. He’s clearly excited to be alongside actors he’s long admired, and he went on to say…

I feel like I’m living a dream every day. I genuinely enjoy going to work and collaborating with people I have so much respect for. It’s amazing to be working alongside actors I grew up watching – people who actually inspired me to pursue this career. I can’t believe I get to learn from them, hear their experiences, offer my own ideas, and even share scenes. It’s an incredible feeling.

It seems Simu Liu enjoyed filming *Doomsday* a lot more than Alan Cumming did. Cumming reportedly didn’t have much interaction with other actors, and wasn’t even always sure who his scenes were with.

Given the large cast of the upcoming *Doomsday* film and the lack of plot details, it’s hard to know what Simu Liu filmed or who he filmed it with. He did mention Robert Downey Jr., suggesting he’s seen Downey Jr.’s scenes, which means they might share screen time together.

If that’s true, then Shang-Chi’s next appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe could be the exciting comeback fans have been hoping for. We’ll see when *Avengers: Doomsday* comes out next year.
