MALAYSIAN actress Michelle Yeoh will once again team up with Destin Daniel Cretton, director of “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” this time for a fantasy series. Adapted from graphic novel “American Born Chinese” (2006) by Gene-luen Yang, the action comedy on Disney+ follows a regular teenager Jin Wang, played by relative newcomer Ben Wang, who becomes unwittingly entangled in a battle between Chinese mythological gods. Yeoh will take on the role of an unassuming auntie who hides her secret identity of the Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin. (SD-Agencies) |
