But Chapek admitted that the movie"was planned on being in a much more healthy theatrical environment," as the approach to its release was decided prior to the increase in coronavirus cases led by the Delta variant.
And Liu was not about it. He continued in his tweet,"We are the underdog; the underestimated. We are the ceiling-breakers. We are the celebration of culture and joy that will persevere after an embattled year. We are the surprise. I’m fired the fuck up to make history on September 3rd; Join us."
