Celebrities who manifested their dream roles and collaborations

While several stars have expressed their preferences for certain roles, there are a lucky few who have managed to make those dreams come true.

Simu Liu made headlines in 2019 when he was cast as Shang-Chi in Marvels Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. At the time, the actor recalled an earlier tweet of his that predicted the role he would soon play.

“Hey Marvel, great job with Cpt America and Thor. How about an Asian American hero,” he wrote in July 2014.

Reflecting on the social media event, the stuntman said he had no idea a simple thought would lead to the role of a lifetime.

“I had absolutely no idea this would happen. It was actually just a funny thing I tweeted,” Liu shared during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show in September 2021.

“What happened over the next few years is quite incredible and quite insane. So I pinch myself every day, to be honest.”
