Simu Liu showcased a series of actions in the film Shang Chi. The actor often dropped BTS videos of his rehearsals. He recently shared a video of an action sequel for the film. In the caption, he mentioned how the film was important for him as he wrote, "Part of the joy of being an actor is the process of becoming one with a character. Whether it’s jazz piano, tap dancing or beating the living daylights out of people, a performer inhabits the character and fully gives themselves to the transformation process." "Asian actors don’t just do kung fu; but Shang-Chi does. It’s just one of the many things that flesh out his personality, but it’s easily the most challenging from a physical perspective. That meant I had to get to work. Hours each day, in addition to bodybuilding and conditioning with my trainer, were spent in order to build my character. Movement, speed and explosiveness were paramount; we couldn’t just build muscle for sake of bulk. Flexibility was massively lacking and had to be stretched out one painful session after another. Little by little, I got better," he added.

Simu Liu starrer Shang Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings marked the entry of the first Asian superhero in Marvel Studios. The film revolved around Marvel's martial arts master Shang Chi, who confronts his past which he thought he had left behind when drawn into a mysterious web of Ten Rings organisation. The film was directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.
