In one of her posts, Yeoh was seen going through a swab test, made more interesting by the comment left by one of the confirmed actresses for Shang-Chi, Awkwafina.

“I know your pain. But good news is I can see the colour purple now,” she said in the comment section.

In Yeoh’s following post, Yeoh shared a selfie of herself with the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background.

Although there has been no official statement on the involvement of Yeoh in Shang-Chi just yet, it is no surprise if she were to appear in Shang-Chi as she has made her first appearance in Marvel’s Guardian of the Galaxy Volume 2 as Aleta Ogord, a member of the Ravenger Clan.

Among other stars that are confirmed to be part of Shang-Chi is Hong Kong actor Tony Leung, Canadian actor Simu Liu and as well as comedian, Ronny Chieng.

Shang-Chi was originally set to release in February 2021 but it will likely be postponed due to delays brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.
