Actor Simu Liu has gone from being a stock photo model to one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood following the success of Marvel Studios' Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. He has now added writer to his glorious resume and revealed the first look at his memoir, We Were Dreamers: An Immigrant Superhero Origin Story.

The Marvelstar shared the cover and first page of his memoir on his official Twitter account on Tuesday. Keeping it simple, Liu features on the cover of We Were Dreamers along with a quote from actress Olivia Munn that refers to the book as “a sincere, funny and fascinating love letter to family.” While Liu had confirmed that he had written the book back in June 2021, it is only now that the cover has been officially revealed, along with a release date of May 3, 2022.

In Liu's own words, We Were Dreamers is “a hilarious and heartfelt tale about coming of age in a foreign land, struggling to find your footing and ultimately learning to seize your moment and own your greatness.” The book is already available for pre-ordering online, but will only arrive in bookstores later this year. Liu confessed that this book is his «whole heart and soul,» and it took him nearly three years to write the story of his «little family of dreamers.» He also shared an image of the first page, or prologue, in the book that sheds light on the phone call that Liu received from Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige to inform him of his lead role in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
