Filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton, director of the upcoming Marvel film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has tested negative to the coronavirus.
The news comes as a mild relief as more celebrities open up about contracting the dreaded illness. It’s good to know that the director’s tests came back negative.
Cretton went on social media where he revealed the news in a lengthy post with motivating words.
“During my weekend of isolation away from my family, I had a lot of time to ponder this interesting moment in history that our second child was born into, a time full of opinions and division, where scientific truths are debated and brushed off as political spins. But in the midst of this storm, while staring up at a spot on my hotel ceiling that I swear looked exactly like a bunny, I could see something really quite beautiful happening. People all around the world are beginning to realize how connected we are, how vulnerable we are, how much we need each other to survive.
… Please stay hopeful, please stay humble, please stay home. Social distancing is an act of love for yourself, your family, and for every person on this planet.”
