Simu Liu posted a photo on Instagram from the set of *Avengers: Doomsday*, and he appears visibly unhappy in it.
The post’s timing has led people to wonder what his plans are for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This speculation is happening alongside his recent comments about the new *Superman* movie and ongoing rumors about a possible *Avengers: Doomsday* project.
No Shang-Chi 2, But Superman Gets a Sequel
This reaction follows Liu’s unemotional response just weeks ago to the news of James Gunn’s *Superman: Man of Tomorrow*, a follow-up film planned for 2027 after the original grossed $615 million globally.
Liu noted the contrast between Superman immediately receiving a sequel and the fact that a second *Shang-Chi* movie hasn’t been announced yet, despite the 2021 film earning over $432 million worldwide.
To boot, Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton is now directing Spider-Man 4.
Doomsday Reset Rumors
Rumors are swirling that the upcoming *Avengers: Doomsday* movie will completely reboot the Marvel Cinematic Universe after *Endgame*, potentially removing characters that were introduced starting in 2019.
This might signal that Shang-Chi’s time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is coming to a close, and Simu Liu’s recent, melancholic photo could be a hint of that. If true, it would mean the character of Shang-Chi is being removed from the MCU.
We can add that perhaps Simu Liu received word that Shang-Chi 2 isn’t happening.
Liu’s Future in Question
Simu Liu is set to return in *Avengers: Doomsday*, which is planned for release on December 18, 2026. However, with no current plans for a *Shang-Chi* sequel and ongoing speculation that Marvel Studios might be starting fresh, it’s natural to question how long Liu will continue to be involved in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
His recent posts only add to the uncertainty.
