American Born Chinese is an upcoming Disney+ series based on the 2006 graphic novel of the same name by author and illustrator Gene Luen Yang. The show will feature nods to various superhero franchises, including Marvel, DC, and Dragon Ball Z. The first trailer for the series introduces viewers to Jin Wang, a teenager struggling to fit in at high school, who is forced to befriend exchange student Wei-Chen. However, he soon learns that Wei-Chen is caught up in a war involving multiple figures from Chinese mythology. The trailer offers a brief glimpse of Jin’s bedroom, which includes a Captain America graphic novel, as well as action figures of DC’s Superman and Goku from Dragon Ball Z.
Gene Luen Yang has previously explained his personal love of superheroes and how it relates to his experience as the son of immigrants. “At the heart of the superhero genre is this blending of the fantastic and the mundane,” Yang said. “I think that really reflects the Asian-American experience in particular and the immigrant child’s experience in general. Many of us feel like we live in between two different worlds.”
The show is set to feature an all-star cast, including Yeo Yann Yann and Chin Han as Jin’s parents, Sydney Taylor as his crush Amelia, Michelle Yeoh as Guanyin the Bodhisattva, Daniel Wu as Sun Wukong the Monkey King, and Ke Huy Quan as former sitcom actor Freddy Wong. Speaking with CBR, showrunner Kelvin Yu emphasized the importance of Asian-American representation in modern media, and how the landscape of the entertainment industry has changed since American Born Chinese was first published. “We are trying to be part of that next wave where the stories are a little bit unexpected, and we are using all the tools in front of us,” he said.
All eight episodes of American Born Chinese will release on May 24 on Disney+.
