Meanwhile, Yeoh also believes that the unexpected success of the film holds an important lesson for Hollywood, demonstrating that audiences are hungry for something new and different, not just rehashing the same old tropes.

“It’s just a matter of pushing the envelope and refusing to say that this is the ‘normal way,’” Yeoh explained.
