Simu Liu made history as the lead of Marvel’s first Asian-fronted film, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, earning a People’s Choice Award and multiple award nominations. His ascent to superstardom, during which he has been a vocal advocate for greater diversity in film and media, led to his inclusion on TIME Magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People in 2022.

Born to Chinese immigrant parents and raised in Canada, he broke out on the hit Netflix sitcom Kim’s Convenience and has since starred in films such as Barbie and Last Breath, while also leading and executive producing Peacock’s The Copenhagen Test. He recently made his Broadway debut this February in the Tony Award-winning production of Oh, Mary!

Simu has written a New York Times-best selling memoir about his family origins. Up next, he will star in the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, slated for release in December 2026.
