Liu also has a compelling personal narrative, and it’s one that he’ll share in detail with the world in the spring with the release of his memoir “They Were Dreamers.” Originally on the corporate-business track, he began his career as an accountant at Deloitte. When he was laid off, he decided to try his luck down in Hollywood.
The “Kim’s Convenience” actor submitted his Marvel audition tape while he was in Toronto filming the sitcom. While Marvel films are typically shrouded in secrecy in the early stages of production, Liu and his team knew exactly what the role was for. Soon after, he flew out to L.A. to meet with director Destin Daniel Cretton, whose resume includes renowned indie films like “Short Term 12” and “Just Mercy.

Early reviews for the film have been overwhelmingly positive. The real test, though, will be in how audiences receive the film. So far, it looks promising. “I tend to spend way more time than I should on social media,” says Liu. “And so I’ve been pretty ear-to-the-ground on the fan response. And I would say [it’s been] overwhelmingly positive, very excited to see the movie,” he says.
