Earlier this year,ย Shang-Chiย star Simu Liu andย director Destin Daniel Crettonย spoke to ComicBook.com‘s Phase Zero podcastย about the experience of working on the film, and indicated that the film’s blooper reel would definitely delight fans.
“There was one made that made me laugh quite a bit,” Cretton explained. “And I don’t know … I have no idea if it’ll be released.”ย
“I have also seen such a video,” Liu added. “So I can confirm that such a product exists, but in what capacity, how it will be introduced to the world remains to be seen. It’s a mystery.”ย
“Nora’s so quick and so funny, and I think she is responsible for easily 50 percent of that gag reel, at least the one that I watched, and it was so good,” Liu continued. “I love watching the BTS stuff, because it really just takes me back to when we were shooting, just felt like a simpler time just going to work every day and making this movie. It was really, really one of the most incredible times of my life.”
