Marvel’s Shang-Chi star Simu Liu is celebrating Asian Heritage Month and speaking out against hate. The actor has never been shy about speaking his mind on social media. So, when May rolled around, Liu had a few words about this May and increasing violence against Asian American people. He’s trying to use his platform to shed some more light on the issue. It’s just been such a wild few weeks for the Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star. He turned 32 and had the trailer for that upcoming MCU movie. Fans were just happy to finally see what the film was going to be about. But, a lot of them followed Liu when he was asking Kevin Feige to be Shang-Chi years ago. It’s been interesting to see his rise over just a few years time. Check out his words down below:
This #AsianHeritageMonth it is more critical than ever to celebrate our culture, recognize our triumphs and to stand in solidarity against anti-Asian discrimination.
I’m so incredibly proud of my family history that spans from China to Canada. We are immigrants and dreamers.
