Simu Liu may still be entrenched within the MCU, and at one point he was even going to be the focus of an Avengers movie, but that doesn’t stop him from doing extra-curricular projects. He was a Ken in Barbie, tried out a Netflix original with Jennifer Lopez, and even played himself in a recurring role on Max’s The Other Two. But with Shang-Chi 2 still in limbo, Liu is attempting something far bigger than a guest star role; he’s going to be a lead in a sci-fi thriller series with an iconic creator attached. Here’s everything we know about the as-yet-untitled series.
This sci-fi thriller comes from executive producer James Wan, the director behind Saw, Aquaman, and The Conjuring. The series, set to premiere on Peacock, follows Liu as Alexander Hale, an intelligence analyst who discovers his brain has been hacked, meaning the hackers have access to everything he sees and hears.
