Simu Liu previews his ‘perfect future boyfriend’ character on ‘The Simpsons’

November 16, 2022

Simu Liu has given fans a preview of the “perfect future boyfriend” character he voiced for an upcoming episode of “The Simpsons.”

On Tuesday, the Marvel star shared a photo of his guest role on Instagram, captioning it: “Guys it’s me IM ON THE SIMPSONS.”

In the photo, Liu’s character can be seen with dark hair, square glasses and a sports coat. Next to him sits an older version of Lisa, who holds an issue of Time magazine with Liu’s character’s face on the cover.

Co-showrunner Matt Selman shared with Deadline in August that Liu will be voicing an adult Hubert Wong, one of Lisa’s love interests and her “perfect future boyfriend.”

In previous episodes, Hubert is Lisa’s Springfield Elementary School classmate. When he’s chosen over Lisa for a reading roundup, Lisa accuses Hubert of cheating.

Liu will star in an episode titled “When Nelson Met Lisa,” referring to Nelson Muntz, Springfield Elementary School’s main bully.

With Lisa’s and Nelson’s dating history, the future of Hubert’s love life seems to be up in the air. Echoing these concerns, Liu responded on his Instagram, “Uh oh episode title not looking good.”

Fans can look forward to Liu’s episode on Sunday, Nov. 27 at 8 p.m. EST on FOX.
