Shang-Chi star Simu Liu lines up next lead role in new Prime Video series

The actor will be teaming up with Fast & Furious' Justin Lin.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu has lined up his next major role in new Prime Video series Seven Wonders.

The star is set to team up with former Fast & Furious director Justin Lin on the show, which is adapted from the Ben Mezrich novel of the same name, Deadline reports.

The show focuses on Liu's character Dr Nate Grady, a brilliant botanist and adventurer, who works with Sloane Seydoux, a slippery international fixer, as they embark on a race to solve an ancient mystery related to the Seven Wonders of the World.

The actor has been pretty busy since the Marvel movie was released last year, with roles lined up in Barbie, Arthur the King and The Simpsons, to name just a few.

Liu will lend his voice to the upcoming episode 'When Nelson Met Lisa', where he will play a future boyfriend of Lisa Simpson.
