The article details a humorous anecdote shared by Simu Liu about his early experiences joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). As a newcomer, Liu recounted seeing director's chairs on set labeled with names like "Evans," "Hemsworth," and "Johansson." He initially didn't realize these were the last names of the famous actors (Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson) who portray iconic characters. Instead, he thought they might be obscure character names he simply wasn't familiar with yet.

It wasn't until later that he understood these were the actual surnames of his veteran co-stars. This realization made him feel like an outsider and highlighted the immense scale and legacy of the franchise he was stepping into. The story serves as a funny, relatable moment illustrating his perspective as a newcomer navigating the established world of the MCU. The article also briefly mentions his anticipation and excitement about potentially being part of future ensemble films like Avengers: Doomsday.
