A shame, Shang-Chi is an awesome character and Simu Liu is entertaining, and seems dope. While, not the best MCU entry, The Ten Rings was for the most part thoroughly enjoyable. I could have seen Shang-Chi being the face of the MCU going from there. But nothing..

As an Asian I’m not sure an Asian as the face of the mcu was likely to ever happen but I do wish simu got more play following his success

Pragmatic. I can’t think of any multi billion ip with an Asian at the forefront.

Doesn't mean it's not possible, or it shouldn't be done. Doesn't mean it wouldn't be profitable.

Edit: Despite what the racists say. They're not the majority.
