Simu Liu's Experience on Set
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Liu shared his feelings while filming the MCU blockbuster. He was cautious not to reveal any names of unannounced cast members, indicating that there are surprise appearances yet to be disclosed.
“I think everybody experiences their own version of imposter syndrome at some point in their lives, and stepping onto set with some of the names that you are alluding to, I definitely felt a lot of that. So, yes, there was the insecurity and the imposter syndrome, but then there was the fun part of, like, ‘Oh my God, that’s …’ I don’t want to say the wrong name if they’re not announced [already], but it was like, ‘That’s Sir Ian McKellen, and he’s wearing his superhero costume.’ It was such a wonderful way to meet somebody that you admire so much.”
