Simu Liu Name Drops Tom Holland When Explaining Why He Kept Avengers: Doomsday Casting Under Wraps

During a lengthy live-stream event, we learned some major updates about the upcoming Marvel films, most notably the main cast of “Avengers: Doomsday.” Even though Simu Liu was aware that his name would be included, he admitted that the other names were just as surprising to him as they are to us.

On “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” Simu Liu shared his enthusiasm about becoming part of the cast, but was seemingly unaware of who else would be joining. He admitted that he only knew about the project named “Doomsday” due to his own involvement, as a few other Avengers had accidentally leaked information and spoiled it for everyone. Simu Liu stated…

It was clear that I would play a part in it somehow, but I wasn’t aware of who else was going to be included – honestly, they never share details with us, as Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo had already leaked too much information earlier. Now, they keep things secret.

Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo are known for being rather chatty when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Holland often needing careful management to prevent him from revealing too much. Both actors have a habit of sharing more information than intended about their films. Marvel is notoriously secretive about details to prevent spoilers, but it appears they’re taking no risks with their own actors.

This implied that the constant flow of chairs was equally unexpected for Simu Liu, as he wasn’t aware of which names would be revealed. Generally speaking, the biggest shock for fans was the roster of original X-Men franchise actors who are set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Notably, Liu named two of these actors whom he is particularly thrilled about. The Shang-Chi actor expressed his excitement about…

When it was revealed that both Sir Ian and Sir Patrick would be appearing, well, let me tell you, it felt as though I had just learned that two of the most exceptional actors in history were going to be present. It left me utterly amazed, quite frankly.

It’s clear that the prospect of working with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen has left Simu Liu quite thrilled.

If the specifics about “Avengers: Doomsday” are being kept secret, it’s probably not clear to him if he’ll interact with any of them in the film. With a large number of characters featured in this movie, unless there’s an “Avengers: Endgame”-like grand finale involving everyone, it seems more probable that only select groups of these characters will appear together on screen.

Next year, when the movie “Avengers: Doomsday” premieres in theaters, we’ll finally uncover what’s happening. It would be great if Shang-Chi and the X-Men could spend some time together in the storyline.
