Simu Liu has shared a shirtless gym video as he gets back into superhero shape, using audio from fellow Marvel star Inde Navarrette’s recent Saturday Night Live monologue.
The clip shows the Shang-Chi actor working out in short shorts while echoing a joke made during Navarrette’s appearance on the programme.
Navarrette’s monologue followed a controversial remark by SNL host Shane Gillis, who said he had returned to the gym and “didn’t know women just dress like whores now.”
Addressing the comment, Navarrette said: “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m going to be in a Marvel movie. And I know it’s really important for Marvel that you get really fit, so I’ve been working out a lot, so every morning I put on my little whore outfit, and I hit the gym.”
Liu used the audio for his own video and captioned it: “time to put on my little outfit”.
The actor made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as the lead in 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. He is due to appear in Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled to reach cinemas on December 18, while a sequel to Shang-Chi is also in development.
Navarrette is set to play Rogue in Marvel’s first standalone X-Men film. The franchise was previously produced by Fox before Disney acquired it through its purchase of the studio.
