Fresh off her historic Best Actress Oscar win for Everything Everywhere All at Once, Michelle Yeoh is back with another big role in the mystic arts genre in the series American Born Chinese. Her stardom in the show in itself should drum up a lot of excitement for the project.
However, if hearing her involvement in the show based on Gene Luen Yang’s hit novel of the same name doesn’t rev you up to want to watch the series, then Luen Yang’s credentials certainly might. For those that don’t know, he served as a writer behind the Avatar: The Last Airbender comics series and he wrote the limited DC Comics series Superman Smashes the Klan. Given the massive popularity of both Avatar and Superman, and the fact that Luen Yang is attached to the cinematic version of American Born Chinese as an executive producer, there are some high expectations for the new show.
