As the latest instalment in the Fast and Furious mega franchise revs up at the worldwide box office, returning star Sung Kang discusses the smash series and his journey to the Star Wars galaxy in the forthcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series with director Deborah Chow.
The “Fast” gig has also afforded Kang the chance to contribute to Hollywood’s most prized intellectual property, “Star Wars.” He appears in the upcoming Disney Plus original “Obi-Wan Kenobi” opposite Ewan McGregor and Kumail Nanjiani.
“I was the kid who came home from school and put on his Kmart Darth Vader mask,” Kang says. “It’s incredible to be an adult and still get to come to this playground.”
Most inspiring to him is working with director Deborah Chow (“Better Call Saul,” “The Mandalorian”), who will helm the entire series.
“She’s a Canadian Chinese female director. It’s amazing just to watch her. She also represents a lot of firsts in a space like this, but it feels so normal. She’s leading an army,” he says.
