Marvel's Kevin Feige calls Disney's 'Shang-Chi' flare-up on social media a 'misunderstanding'
CNN
Disney's recent run-ins with talent have seemingly complicated life for Marvel, as Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige spent part of the premiere for "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" on Monday cleaning up a "misunderstanding" involving Disney CEO Bob Chapek and the movie's star, Simu Liu.
During an earnings call last week, Chapek referred to the release plan for the film -- which will premiere exclusively in theaters on Sept. 3 -- as an "interesting experiment," addressing the continuing clouds over movie-going from the pandemic and Disney's simultaneous premium releases of the movies "Black Widow," "Jungle Cruise" and "Cruella" on its streaming service, Disney+. The wording prompted Liu to take issue with the comment on social media, clearly feeling that Chapek's remarks had disrespected the movie.More Related News
