Simu Liu is set to reprise his role as Shang-Chi in the upcoming Marvel film *Avengers: Doomsday*, teasing fans ahead of its 2026 release. In a recent interview, Liu shared his excitement about reuniting with a vast array of actors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and offered insights into what viewers can expect from the film, directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo.

“I mean, there are just so many actors in it, and getting to work with those people as peers is really incredible because I grew up watching so many of them,” Liu told ScreenRant. Among the star-studded cast, Liu will share credits with Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Vanessa Kirby (Susan Storm), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), and Florence Pugh (Yelena), among many others.

Describing the film, Liu said, “It feels, in a lot of ways, like a love letter to the entire genre of superhero movies. And I think there’s something really fun about that.” He added that *Avengers: Doomsday* is “for all the misfits and the weirdos and the underdogs that grew up reading comic books and feeling like there was hope for them somehow—that it didn’t matter if they didn’t fit in. I think there’s just always a special place in my heart for that entire genre.”

*Avengers: Doomsday* is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026. The film is being directed by the Russo brothers, Joe and Anthony, with a script penned by Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely.

Joining Liu and the previously mentioned stars, the film also features Lewis Pullman (Sentry), Danny Ramirez (Joaquín Torres / Falcon), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm), David Harbour (Red Guardian), Winston Duke (M’Baku), Hannah John-Kamen (Ghost), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier / Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops), and Channing Tatum (Gambit).

With such an extraordinary ensemble and a heartfelt narrative, *Avengers: Doomsday* promises to be a memorable addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fans can look forward to an exciting and emotional journey when the film hits theaters later this year.
