This past weekend saw the theatrical release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the latest blockbuster within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film was already making history for its Asian representation both in front of and behind the camera, and now the box office numbers have broken records as well, with a reported opening weekend gross of $90 million. The news was definitely welcome to Marvel fans and even other studios, especially as the theatrical box office has struggled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Simu Liu, who stars as the film’s titular character, recently took to Twitter to address the news in a pretty epic way, getting in on the recent meme that utilizes his old stock photos. The tweet, which you can check out below, says “me laughing at the people who thought we’d flop”, accompanied by a stock photo of Liu and two additional people pointing at a computer.
