Sequels have become an almost inevitable trend for any entertainment franchise achieving commercial success these days, but Michelle Yeoh holds a different perspective when it comes to her latest film, Everything Everywhere All At Once.
During her conversation with Variety, Michelle Yeoh, the Academy Award-winning actress who brought to life the character of Evelyn Wang, a laundromat owner and mother caught up in a multiverse battle with a formidable adversary, opened up about the remarkable success she has achieved with the film. When asked about any potential future plans for the movie, this is what she had to say: There are mega films that suffer terrible losses, yet they still go and keep doing the same thing. It's the studios thinking that's their comfort zone: these movies, the budgets get bigger and they feel more violence, the more CGI will make it better – but the truth of the matter is it's not. It's really storytelling. In Everything Everywhere All At Once, even though we traveled the multi-verses, the main theme was love.
There's no sequel. You know, it's one of those movies where it's - we would just be doing the same thing. We already fought the biggest enemy, which is sometimes ourselves, within ourselves. And we brought out the message of how we're going to do it, and reminded every one of you is a superhero, because we all inherently have the superpower of love, compassion, and kindness. We don't need a cape to be a superhero. We can do it every day, anytime we choose to. So, no [sequel]. Stephanie Hsu was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 95th Academy Awards.
