In an interview with Screen Rant, the Barbie star opened up about his experience of reuniting with the star studded cast, "I mean, there are just so many actors in it, and getting to work with those people as peers is really incredible because I grew up watching so many of them."

Sharing a glimpse at what movie has to offer, the Chinese – Canadian actor said, "It feels, in a lot of ways, like a love letter to the entire genre of superhero movies. And I think there’s something really fun about that."

Reflecting on the deeper meaning of the film, Liu added that it is "for all the misfits and the weirdos and the underdogs that grew up reading comic books and feeling like there was hope for them somehow – that it didn’t matter if they didn't fit in – I think there’s just always a special place in my heart for that entire genre."
