Captain Marvel's Brie Larson Welcomes Shang-Chi Star Simu Liu to the Marvel Cinematic Universe

After pandemic-infused delays and a barrage of promotional materials, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has finally arrived in theaters. 

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the Phase 4 entry introduced Simu Liu as the MCU's Master of Kung Fu, but on a more important note, the franchise's newest Avenger.

Marketing for Shang-Chi hasn't been shy in emphasizing the fact that Liu's Marvel hero will indeed join the ranks of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, with promo materials including footage of Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. 

Given that the film is set within the confines of the MCU, the hero's inclusion among Earth's protectors makes sense. This is further amplified by the online buzz on social media, with Marvel stars like Chris Hemsworth welcoming Liu to the ever-growing superhero franchise. 

Now, another major MCU star has welcomed Liu to the franchise.

In a recent tweet, Captain Marvel actress Brie Larson welcomed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu to the MCU, while also congratulating the actor during the film's opening day debut in theaters worldwide: 

"Welcome to the MCU, Shang-Chi. Congratulations, @SimuLiu."

Meanwhile, in another tweet replying to Liu's post about celebrating the theatrical debut of Shang-Chi, Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi also greeted the Marvel actor with his own version of a congratulatory response: 

"Congratulations.........?"
