When it comes to her latest film, “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” actress Michelle Yeoh is excited about its Asian representation.

The “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” star is enthusiastic about the casting of Chinese-Canadian actor Simu Liu as Marvel Studios’ first Asian lead.

“When that movie was announced last year and they introduced who they were doing as the Marvel superhero and it was an Asian superhero, it was like, ‘Yes, finally!’ When do we get to be represented like that?,” she gushed during Time 100 Talks interview with Time magazine’s Books Editor Lucy Feldman on Tuesday.

Yeoh, who also appeared in Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” credits one of her films with helping Hollywood realize the potential of Asian actors.
