Hollywood actor Simu Liu, most famously known for playing the lead role in Marvel's Shang-Chi, has confirmed he is in talks regarding the Sleeping Dogs movie rights. In a reply to a fan on X who shared a gameplay video of Sleeping Dogs' combat, Liu mentioned, "Working with the rights holders to bring Sleeping Dogs to the big screen!"

Marvel star Simu Liu says it’s his dream to make a Sleeping Dogs movie happen, followed by a new Sleeping Dogs game. Earlier this month, actor Donnie Yen said the film adaptation of Square Enix ‘s 2012 crime game – which was first announced back in 2017 – had effectively been cancelled.

The possibility of a live-action Sleeping Dogs movie is still possible as a major Marvel star tries to acquire the rights.

Shang-Chi star Simu Liu wants to make a Sleeping Dogs movie. The actor revealed that he is actively working to get a hold of the rights for a film adaptation of the 2012 video game.
