While we wait for 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' to release, Marvel’s upcoming film 'Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' has us excited
Simu Liu wants to team up with Tom Holland's Spider-Man; picture/PR
Simu Liu (playing Shang Chi) seems to be a fan himself. Speaking to Screenrant, the star admitted how he wants Marvel Studios to adapt an aspect of the 'Spider-Island' storyline from the comics where the master of Kung Fu, Shang Chi, teams up with Spider-Man to save the day. For those who aren’t aware, during Marvel Comics’ 2011 'Spider-Island' storyline, hundreds of New Yorkers, including criminals, manifest spider-powers. As the Avengers attempt to defend the city, Spider-Man loses his Spider-Sense. The only solution to this is that Peter train with Shang-Chi. Together, they develop a martial arts style known as the 'Way of the Spider', a hybrid version of Peter's own combat style and Shang-Chi's martial arts.
This crossover seems insane and we would love for this to play out! Especially considering how Simu Liu and Tom Holland do quite a lot of the stunts on their own. But for now, catch the origin story of 'Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' in theatres near you on September 3 in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.
