TORONTO - Simu Liu says “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” is a watershed moment for Asian representation in Hollywood. “I kind of love being a superhero,” Liu, who was born in China and largely grew up in the Greater Toronto Area, said in a recent video interview. “It’s also a call to action for every creative, every actor, director, screenwriter of colour watching this movie. As in the comics, Shang-Chi in the film is the son of a Chinese criminal mastermind. They were like the stars of the premiere.”This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 30, 2021.
