Daniel Wu On Bringing The Monkey King To Life In American Born Chinese

American Born Chinese makes its triumphant debut on Disney+ this week, where it will welcome some of the most famous figures in Chinese mythology to Western television. Based on Gene Luen Yang's acclaimed graphic novel of the same name and boasting episodes directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang Chi), the show centers on a mild-mannered high schooler named Jin (Ben Wang) who reluctantly befriends the new transfer student Wei-Chen (Jimmy Liu), and thus stumbles into the latter's secret world of gods and quests.
