Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu is eager for his character to team up with fellow MCU hero Ms Marvel.
Whether it be in the next Avengers team-up movie or Shang-Chi 2 (if it ever comes to fruition, that is), Liu has said he's keen to work with Iman Vellani, who made her MCU debut as Kamala Khan in the Disney+ miniseries Ms Marvel last year.
"First of all, she's a fellow Canadian. She's just so great. The few times I've met her, and all the conversations we've had, she's just such a wonderful human being," Liu shared in a recent interview with Men's Health.

The Barbie actor continued: "I'm so excited to get to play opposite any and all of the amazing people that have been introduced into the universe.
"But she's just… I don't know, I guess she's really just stuck out to me as someone who just absolutely loves it, and loves the world, loves the position that she's been put in.
"It kind of, I guess, reminds me of myself in a way – she was such a big Marvel fan from before too. And it's just surreal to her too, every bit as much of a dream come true for her as it is for me."

Vellani, who is set to reprise her role as Kamala Khan in The Marvels later this year, also wants her character to cross paths with some other MCU heroes, including Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness's America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez).
"She's the most amazing, tiny human ever and I love her," she said last year. "We really got along and it's nice to have that shared experience, because she shot Doctor Strange in the same place we shot The Marvels, so we were just bonding over being in London and what that was like because we were both the youngest person on our set."
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is streaming on Disney+.
