After stunning viewers with his performance as a super hero in Marvel’s ‘Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings’, Simu Liu is now ready to turn villain in Netflix’s ’Atlas’ starring and produced by Jennifer Lopez.
In addition to Sinh Liu, Sterling K. Brown (‘Honk for Jesus’, ‘Save Your Soul’) and Abraham Popoola (‘The Great’) have also joined the cast of ‘Atlas’.
Directed by Brad Peyton with a screenplay from Aron Eli Coleite based on an original script by Leo Sardarian, ‘Atlas’ follows an intelligence analyst who gets stranded on a distant planet and must learn to fight inside a military-grade mech suit in order to survive.
‘Atlas’ is produced by Brad Peyton and Jeff Fierson for ASAP Entertainment; Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell for Safehouse Pictures; Jennifer Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, and Benny Medina for Nuyorican Productions; and Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter for Berlanti/Schechter Films. Mike McGrath serves as the executive producer for the film.
‘Atlas’ falls under the creative partnership between Lopez’s Nuyorican Productions and Netflix where Lopez, producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and longtime manager Benny Medina are producing a slate of films, television series, scripted and unscripted content, with an emphasis on projects that support diverse female actors, writers and filmmakers.
