Even though fans are eager for news about *Shang-Chi 2*, Simu Liu is working on other films. He’ll be back as Shang-Chi in the next *Avengers* movie, but first, he’s starring in a spy thriller alongside Melissa Barrera, known for her role in the *Scream* films.
The new series, titled *The Copenhagen Test*, was first announced in February 2024 and recently had a panel at New York Comic Con. At the panel, featuring star and executive producer Simu Liu, the show revealed its first images and a short teaser trailer. It’s confirmed to premiere on Peacock on December 27th.
Okay, so Simu Liu’s character, Alexander Hale, starts off looking like a potential double agent, but things quickly turn around for him. The new teaser is short and sweet, but it’s clear he’s soon accused of treason and forced to team up with others to clear his name and take down the real villains. It’s a classic setup, but Liu seems perfectly cast in the role.
At the conclusion of the thrilling teaser, Liu’s character, Alexander, expresses a feeling of lost trust, saying, “I don’t know who I can trust anymore.”
The espionage thriller *The Copenhagen Test* centers on Alexander Hale, a Chinese-American intelligence analyst who discovers someone has hacked his brain, allowing them to see and hear everything he does.
He’s stuck in the middle – pressured by his secretive organization and mysterious hackers – and constantly has to act the part to uncover the truth and show where his loyalties really are.
Early photos from the set reveal Liu with a gun in a dimly lit alley, surrounded by others, and show him running through a subway station. One image recreates a fight scene from the trailer, featuring Liu and Barrera battling several opponents.
Who Is Behind The Copenhagen Test?
Thomas Brandon, a co-showrunner of the upcoming Peacock espionage series, created *The Copenhagen Test*.
