Simu Liu built his career by walking away from the future that had been mapped out for him. The son of Chinese immigrants, he left a conventional career in business at 23 to pursue acting, eventually becoming the face of a history-making Marvel franchise and one of the most recognizable Asian stars in the world.
But Liu has never treated success in Hollywood as the finish line. From Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and the cultural phenomenon Barbie to Broadway and the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, he has continued to push into new territory. Off screen, he is building just as deliberately. As a partner at Markham Valley Ventures, Liu backs AAPI leaders across business and culture, and as Chief Content Officer of MìLà, he is helping grow a modern Chinese food brand with cultural identity at its core.
His New York Times bestselling memoir, We Were Dreamers, tells the story underneath that trajectory: immigrant expectations, a failed accounting career, and the decision to pursue a life that looked nothing like the one he was expected to lead.
Funny, candid, and relentlessly ambitious, Liu brings audiences inside what it takes to forge your own path, expand the possibilities of representation, and keep building long after the breakthrough.
