It might not arrive in theaters until 2021, but work has finally finished on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Simu Liu recently praised the cast and crew for their hard work on the upcoming Marvel film, celebrating their hard work in staying safe during the pandemic. Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton recently announced filming had finished with a photo that briefly showed off the set they had been working on.

Simu Liu took to Instagram to celebrate the crew’s hard work, revealing that over the course of the production 40,000 covid-19 tests were done to ensure everyone’s safety on the set – and not one person tested positive. It proves just how seriously Marvel Studios is taking the situation and it’s refreshing to hear some good news for once. Take a look at the Shang-Chi star talking about the shoot below.

Our crew came to get it DONE! This shoot was a marathon like no other, broken up by a massive four-month hiatus during which the world completely and irrevocably changed. We finally returned to principle photography in July with a promise that we were going to do it right, emphasizing the health and safety of our hundreds of crew members. Through the thirteen-odd weeks back we made on-set safety an absolute priority, starting from masks and frequent sanitization to rapid testing and pod systems. Everyone sacrificed, and in the end? Over 40,000 CoVID tests without a SINGLE positive. From the lights to the sound, behind the screen and in front, I’m so proud of this crew of people and I can’t wait to show you what we made with @destindaniel. Also – I know, I have to get rid of that chandelier… #ItCameWithThePlace
