Simu Liu just lit a fire under Marvel fans, and all it took was one perfectly timed move. With the Shang-Chi sequel slowly heating up behind the scenes, Liu dropped a name that instantly set the internet abuzz. No spoilers just yet, but let’s just say this movie could bring one of the greatest action legends into the MCU spotlight.
It wasn’t an announcement, but it didn’t need to be. The ripple effect was instant. With one nod, Liu turned a dream into a real possibility, and fans are already imagining what that could mean for Marvel’s future.
Simu Liu’s selfie sparks Jackie Chan Marvel mania
On June 5, Simu Liu fired up Marvel fans with a single photo, and suddenly, Jackie Chan became the MCU’s most-wanted legend. Liu posted a playful click with the action icon, captioned simply: “what could we be cooking 👀”. That’s all it took. The internet went into overdrive.
No official word. No Marvel logo in sight. But the chemistry in that photo was electric. Fans instantly lit up X with dream matchups, buddy cop fantasies, and Shang-Chi sequel theories. Some pitched Chan as a villain. Others saw a long-lost father angel. Either way, the sentiment was loud: make this happen.
Liu, who burst into the MCU in 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, is already confirmed to return in Avengers: Doomsday. But Shang-Chi 2 is still a mystery. That’s why this one subtle tease (just a grin and a camera click) says so much without saying anything at all.
Now, Jackie Chan in the MCU isn’t just wishful thinking. It’s fan-fueled momentum now. A meeting of East-meets-West cinematic icons. Think Shang-Chi meets The Karate Kid, but turbocharged with Marvel muscle.
Whether this was a friendly hangout or a not-so-subtle pitch, Liu knows exactly what he’s doing. And if Marvel’s watching (they definitely are), they’ve just been handed a slam-dunk idea wrapped in internet gold.
Fans lose it over Simu Liu and Jackie Chan’s viral team-up tease
