With “American Born Chinese”, a mystical series starts on Disney + in May. A new trailer puts Star Trek star Michelle Yeoh back in top form alongside Ke Huy Quan.
- The new Disney+ series “American Born Chinese” combines action with Chinese mythology.
- Among the actors are stars like Michelle Yeoh, known from “Star Trek: Discovery”.
- From May 24th you can watch all episodes on Disney+.
Even before Michelle Yeoh will be seen in the Star Trek movie “Section 31”. Show off her action star skills once again in the series “American Born Chinese” on Disney+. A new trailer already gives us a foretaste.
In “American Born Chinese”, Jin Wang struggles through everyday school life as a loner. It doesn’t get any better when he is left in charge of foreign student Wei-Chen. However, Jin quickly realizes that his protégé comes from another world and is thus drawn into a conflict that is as old as Chinese mythology itself. The two receive help from the deity Guanyin played by Michelle Yeoh (“Everything Everywhere All at once”)
As the new trailer shows, this battle will not only be fought in our world, but also in a mystical land full of gods and mythical creatures. There is also no shortage of martial arts action that is in no way inferior to big film productions. If the mixture of action, humor and mythology reminds you of “Avatar – The Lord of the Elements”, you are not wrong. The series is based on the graphic novel by creator Gene Luen Yang
However, Michelle Yeoh is not the only star in the Disney+ series. Oscar winner and social media darling Ke Huy Quan (“Loki”) and Daniel Wu (“Westworld”) also star in “American Born Chinese.” Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”)
Beginning May 24, 2023, you can watch all eight episodes of American Born Chinese on Disney+.
