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. The wording prompted Liu to take issue with the comment on social media, clearly feeling that Chapek's remarks had disrespected the movie. As the Hollywood Reporter reported , Feige stated at the premiere that there was "no intention" on Chapek's part to downplay or diminish the film, which represents Marvel's first featuring an Asian superhero. "The proof is in the movie, and we swing for the fences as we always do," Feige said. "With the amount of creative energy we put in and the budget, there's no expense spared to bring this origin story to the screen."
