Michelle Yeoh on Gunpowder Milkshake, Marvel’s Shang-Chi, and James Cameron’s Avatar Sequels

With director Navot Papushado’s Gunpowder Milkshake now streaming on Netflix, I recently spoke with Michelle Yeoh about being part of the action-packed and violent thriller. If you haven’t seen the trailers, Gunpowder Milkshake follows Sam (Karen Gillan), the daughter of an elite assassin, Scarlet (Lena Headey), who is forced to fight the shadowy organization that raised and trained her to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Sam is forced to reunite with her mother and a new group of assassins when a job goes south and she chooses to protect one of her targets. The all-star cast also features Angela Bassett, Carla Gugino, Paul Giamatti, Ralph Ineson, Chloe Coleman, Adam Nagaitis, and Freya Allan. During the wide-ranging interview, Yeoh talked about why she loved the mostly female cast, what it was like filming the cool slow-motion tracking shot in the third act, and more. In addition, we also talked about her work in Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and James Cameron’s Avatar sequel
