Following a breakout Marvel performance for Simu Liu in the 2021 film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the 36-year-old actor got the nod to reprise his role alongside a lengthy list of fellow superheroes.

Liu is slated to play Shang-Chi in the highly anticipated 2026 film Avengers: Doomsday. While Marvel continues to keep the storyline and information about specific roles under wraps, it’ll be interesting to see what Liu’s role looks like, especially considering the popularity of his original movie.

However, before Liu dove into filming the next Avengers movie, he had some personal business to tend to first. Liu took to social media to announce his engagement to girlfriend Allison Hsu, revealing the news with a tip of the cap to Marvel by referencing Shang-Chi.

According to People Magazine, Liu and Hsu were first linked in late 2022. Hsu currently leads the digital and social efforts at Interscope Records for high-profile names like Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish, per Forbes.

Following Shang-Chi, Liu was in the 2023 film Barbie and Arthur the King (2024). He’s also slated to reprise his superhero role with Shang-Chi in the film’s sequel, Shang-Chi and the Wreckage of Time.

Marvel’s planned sequel starring Liu is far from surprising, considering Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings received impressive ratings from critics and fans alike. To go along with its 92% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, fans gave the film a stellar 98% rating, compiled over north of 10,000 verified reviews.
