#GENE LUEN YANG SERIES#
Written by Gene Luen Yang, illustrated by Ben Oliver and Arif Prianto, and lettered by Tom Napolitano, the series is set in the early days of The Magistrate’s occupation of Gotham, and features the original Batman and Superman dealing with a new threat while navigating the city’s changing status quo. The question of precisely how things got this way has thus far gone unanswered, but that will change next week with the release of Future State: Batman/Superman #1. Some of the biggest changes have been for Batman and Superman, with the former finding a new face, Tim Fox, having taken up the mantle after the apparent death of Bruce Wayne, and the latter featuring a grown Jon Kent carrying on the legacy of his father. So, the numbers were not in your favor.DC’s Future State event is nearing its halfway point, with stories that have already introduced readers to new or drastically-altered versions of iconic DC characters. If you were a Caucasian actor, there were five in each of those scripts, if not 10 or 20 in each of those scripts. In a good year, you might get five as the years went by. I used to say if you stacked 100 scripts on a desk and just looked at those scripts, how many roles in that stack could I play? When I first started acting in 2000, it was maybe one. How do you feel Asian representation has changed on the screen since the graphic novel came out?
#GENE LUEN YANG MOVIE#
Part of it was because it was my first movie since the beginning of the pandemic, but part of it was also because of the talent. You are a long-time Marvel fan, right? Could you have imagined Shang-Chi on the big screen? Out of all of the Marvel characters that have been around, I would not have bet money on him, but he shows up on the screen, and it was an amazing experience. That was the first movie I saw in the theaters since the pandemic. We don't have to tell that same story over and over again. That is to our benefit because the stories can be that more interesting and exciting. Then, on top of that, I think a kid going through adolescence issues but also race issues, it might be a lot more complicated and nuanced than it was 20, 30 years ago. Shows like Fresh Off the Boat and movies like Crazy Rich Asians and Shang-Chi are sort of greasing the rails for us to really hit the gas and do our best. All of these planets are kind of lining up. When we were first developing this years ago, Disney+ didn't even exist. They are tuning into the things they are telling each other about. Audiences want you to break their expectations. We are really blessed to adapt it at this moment. In some ways, this is such an important and wonderful piece of literature that you could have adapted it in 2007. Kelvin Yu: That's a fascinating question to ask right now because what it means to watch television right now is not what it meant to watch television five years ago or 10 years ago. Yang and executive producer Kelvin Yu recently spoke with CBR about adapting and updating the graphic novel, cultural themes, and Simu Liu almost joining the series. Eventually, Jin's mundane world collides with the impossible as he unwittingly becomes pulled into a battle between mythological gods. As it turns out, Wei-Chen is the son of the Monkey King, a legendary Chinese figure of immense supernatural power. Despite Jin's reluctance to become associated with this new classmate, the two develop a deep friendship. Soon enough, Jin gets tasked with showing around Wei-Chen, a new student hailing from Taiwan. As he struggles to fit in, Jin begins to learn what it means to be the child of immigrants and the importance of self-discovery.
The coming-of-age story follows Jin, an average teenager relocating to a predominantly white school.
