‘The Brothers Sun’ Co-Creator on Subverting Asian Male Stereotypes and Why Michelle Yeoh Has Limited Fight Scenes


'The Brothers Sun' co-creator Byron Wu discusses the inspiration behind the two brothers, working with a predominantly Asian team and Michelle Yeoh.

On May 22, 1992, three men brutally stabbed Japanese filmmaker Juzo Itami outside his Tokyo home, just days after the release of his satire “Minbo no Onna,” or “Mob Woman.” Wu spoke to Variety about the inspiration behind the two brothers, working with a predominantly Asian team and why Yeoh has limited fight sequences.
