Disney Branded Television has announced casting for the Disney+ original series “American Born Chinese,” the genre-hopping action-comedy based on the graphic novel of the same name by Gene Luen Yang. The cast features talented international stars Michelle Yeoh (Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”), Ben Wang (“MacGyver”), two-time International EmmyÒ Award nominee Yeo Yann Yann (“Wet Season”), Chin Han (“Mortal Kombat”), Daniel Wu (“Reminiscence”), Ke Huy Quan (“Finding ‘Ohana”), former Taekwondo champion Jim Liu and Sydney Taylor (“Just Add Magic”). A Disney Branded Television series, “American Born Chinese” is produced by 20th Television and will begin production later this month in Los Angeles.

Reminiscence is the feature film debut for director Lisa Joy, the co-showrunner for HBO’s sci-fi Westworld series. Set in the future, people can revisit their memories thanks to a machine built by war veteran Nick, played by Hugh Jackman (X-Men). He meets a mysterious woman named Mae (Rebecca Ferguson) and falls for her, but when she disappears, Nick is determined to find her at all costs. Daniel Wu (Into the Badlands) is Mae’s previous love interest who runs an underground organization that sells drugs, allowing people to escape. Nerd Reactor had the chance to chat with the actor about the film, his character, working with Hugh Jackman, and understanding his importance as an Asian-American actor in Hollywood.

With writer-director Lisa Joy’s feature directorial debut, Reminiscence, arriving in theaters and streaming on HBO Max this weekend, I recently spoke to Daniel Wu about making the science-fiction thriller. If you haven’t seen the trailers, Hugh Jackman plays a private investigator of the mind whose life is forever changed when a new client (Rebecca Ferguson) steps into his office. As he obsesses over what happened to her, he uncovers a violent conspiracy and is forced to decide how far he’s willing to go to uncover the truth. Thandiwe Newton plays his business partner and the film also stars Cliff Curtis, Nico Parker, Angela Sarafyan, Natalie Martinez, Marina de Tavira, and Mojean Aria.

Daniel Wu is a star with a vast filmography who will be seen next in Reminiscence, the new sci-fi thriller starring Hugh Jackman that was helmed by Westworld's Lisa Joy. Wu has played both heroes and villains throughout his career, this time taking on the role of bad guy Saint Joe. ComicBook recently had the chance to chat with Wu, and we asked if he had a preference. While the actor has more fun playing villains, there is one character with both an antagonist and heroic history he'd be interested in playing: Fantastic Four's Silver Surfer.

Reminiscence is hitting theatres and HBO Max at the end of the month, and it's set to be Westworld creator Lisa Joy's directorial feature debut. The sci-fi thriller stars Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson, Thandiwe Newton, Cliff Curtis, and Daniel Wu. The upcoming movie has some neat underwater scenes, which really put Jackman through the wringer. Not only does the X-Men alum have to fight underwater in the movie, but he also nearly gets drowned in a giant fish tank. Recently, ComicBook.com had the chance to chat with Jackman, Joy, and Wu and they all talked about the water scenes.
