Chu’s Crazy Rich Asians, which became the highest-grossing romantic comedy in the U.S. in over a decade. After appearing in James Gunn’s second installment of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, Yeoh returned to the Marvel universe in Destin Daniel Cretton’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Her recent and notable film credits include Kenneth Branagh’s A Haunting in Venice and Jon M. Chu’s blockbuster adaptation of Wicked and its sequel, Wicked: For Good.
