Simu Liu, the star of Marvel hit “Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings”, is in negotiations to join the cast of Warner Bros’ “Barbie” movie, led by Margot Robbie.
If finalised, Liu will feature alongside Robbie, Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera in the film, to be directed by filmmaker Greta Gerwig, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
Gerwig is directing the movie from a script she co-wrote with her filmmaker partner Noah Baumbach.
