Checks on the Internet Movie Database, or IMDB, confirmed that Yeoh will be starring in Shang-Chi, alongside Canadian actor Simu Liu and fellow Crazy Rich Asians actress Awkwafina, whose real name is Nora Lum.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will be Marvel Studios’ first film featuring an Asian lead and is set for release in May 2021. Based on Marvel’s comic series called Master of Kung Fu, Shang-Chi is a superhero of Asian descent who is proficient in all forms of martial arts – just like the legendary Bruce Lee.
This will be Yeoh’s second role with Marvel. She played superhero Aleta Ogord in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 that premiered three years ago.
