Simu Liu is dishing on working with a ton of stars in the new Avengers movie!
The 37-year-old is one of many stars that will be reprising their Marvel character in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, which hits theaters later this year.
Simu will be back as Shang-Chi in the movie, which also stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Paul Rudd, Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, Florence Pugh, and Channing Tatum among many, many more.
In a new interview with People, Simu talked about working alongside the all of these stars, revealing that he was left in awe when he got the chance to work with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, who are reprising their X-Men roles as Professor X and Magneto, respectively.
“For me, it’s Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen … not just for their roles in X-Men, which are so iconic, but I also grew up just a massive [Star Trek] Next Generation super-nerd, and Lord of the Rings as well,” Simu shared. Patrick starred in the Star Trek series as Jean-Luc Picard, while Ian starred as Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings movies.
“So just getting to talk to them, getting to hang on set with them in between takes, it was the most starstruck I’ve ever been,” he added.
Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 16. Watch the trailer here!
