David Dobrik reveals he auditioned for role in Shang-Chi YouTube: David Dobrik \/ Marvel, DisneyYouTube star David Dobrik revealed some behind the scenes details about his surprising audition for Marvel\u2019s 2021 Shang-Chi film. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is one of the latest additions to the Marvel Cinematic universe \u2014 and David Dobrik could have been part of it. The YouTube star has made no bones about his love for Marvel films. He even has a fully functioning Iron Man suit, which he\u2019s shown off on his channel many times. (Oh, and we can\u2019t forget that time he smacked his assistant for almost keeping him from seeing Spider-Man: No Way Home in a TikTok challenge video. The man does love his Marvel, after all.)

So, it\u2019s not a huge surprise to learn that Dobrik auditioned for Shang-Chi \u2014 specifically, the character who humorously vlogs the bombastic fight between Shang-Chi and his father\u2019s grunts on a careening San Francisco bus. Dobrik revealed this info during the latest episode of his VIEWS podcast on April 5, 2022. \u201cThe thing read \u2014 it was like an influencer guy,\u201d he explained. \u201cI know when that happens in a script, they just say it\u2019s an influencer. They\u2019re never gonna actually pick an influencer, because that\u2019d be goofy.\u201d \u201cAs I was walking out of my audition, McLovin\u2019 was also walking out. He just auditioned for that same part. I was like, \u2018Why the f**k am I here? This guy\u2019s auditioning? He\u2019s gonna blow me out of the f**king water!’\u201d (Topic begins at 15:18) Although Dobrik didn\u2019t end up scoring the part, he said that going to see the film was a unique experience, as he already knew all the character\u2019s lines by heart. This is far from Dobrik\u2019s first Hollywood experience; the vlogger rubs elbows with the likes of Howie Mandel and Josh Peck on a regular basis, and even has his own show on Discovery Plus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
