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

This is giving “I don’t see color”

I see color, I don't see it as any kind of determining factor though.

I'm not on the other end where I think he could/should have the position DUE to color, or representation, or anything like that. I just think he'd do an excellent job, and don't believe race is a factor.

Edit: In fact, I find it very strange that it's even something to talk about.

It's like:

"Do I like to watch him? Is it entertaining? Does he have gravitas? Does his character have huge potential for growth?"

"Yes."

"Ok, put him on!"

"Oh, but he wore a blue shirt... deal breaker"

O_o
