Los Angeles, May 17 - Simu Liu, who headlined Marvel Studios' "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" last year, will next be seen in "Barbie". The movie, fronted by Margot Robbie, is the first-ever live-action film based on the fashion doll after a series of animated films and television series.

Simu Liu in a recent interview with GQ UK revealed that he had almost a zero idea about the movie when he agreed to audition for a role in the movie and revealed that it was a junior agent at his management customer who advised him to take up the movie after he told it is one of the best scripts ever.



"He literally said this verbatim", Liu told. "He was like, 'If I could stake my career on any one script, it's the Barbie script. I really think you should do it". He said that he sent in a self-tape audition which led director Greta Gerwig to request an in-person meeting.

Simu Liu, wanting to grab a role in the film, told the filmmaker about his dance history with a competitive hip-hop team. "She audibly guffawed, she giggle-screamed — and then I got the part", Liu said.

The "Shang-Chi" actor described "Barbie" as wild and incredibly unique, adding, "I wish I could just show you what we do day-to-day because it's crazy". The film is not a musical, but Liu said he's been in dance rehearsals aplenty for the movie. The actor also teased what it's like working on a Greta Gerwig set. "When you're doing a scene and it's working, you hear, 'HAHAHAHA!' It's the best feeling in the world. If you're an asshole on a Greta Gerwig set, there's no hope for you", he said.



Produced by LuckyChap Entertainment, Mattel Films, and Heyday Films, "Barbie" also stars Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Ariana Greenblatt, and Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell in supporting roles.

The movie will be released on July 21, 2023, by Warner Bros.

Stay tuned...
