The discussion about the merits of superhero movies and their place in cinema has been going on for some time. Some filmmakers like Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino, as well as some pundits, have shared less than favorable thoughts about comic book prices. However, many others have come to his defense, including Marvel star Simu Liu. The up-and-coming actor, who made his film debut in 2021 Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringsis now a member of by Greta Gerwig Barbie problem . And while he was promoting the film’s first trailer, he apparently threw shade on superhero movie reviews.
the Barbie trailer it was simply a sight to behold, and that was partly because it gave fans a quick glimpse into Simu Liu’s dance moves. Upon release, the actor shared the footage on a Chirping post, which included a cheeky caption:

She said working with director Ryan Coogler on the films, she and her colleagues “brought our understanding of our culture, our understanding of our humanity, our gender, the complexities of this world.” However, comments emerged from Anthony Mackie , who plays Sam Wilson, shows that he understands Quentin Tarantino’s statement.

Greta Gerwig admitted to thinking movie could be a ‘career finale’ for her, but she was finally up for the challenge.
If the Academy Award-nominated director’s resume is any indication, the film could become an instant classic. Also, I have no doubt that Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu and the rest of the cast will get their roles. We’ll see how the film fares and if it helps support Simu Liu’s comments on the state of cinema.
