Crazy Rich Asians 2 has received a disappointing update. The Crazy Rich Asians sequel seemed like a guarantee after the 2018 movie grossed $239 million against its $30 million budget and earned two Golden Globe nominations. Adapted from the Kevin Kwan novel, the movie followed Rachel (Constance Wu) learning that her boyfriend Nick (Henry Golding) was part of a rich Singaporean family and fighting to impress his stern mother Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh). As the novel was the first of a trilogy, an adaptation of the sequel China Rich Girlfriend was announced in 2018, but development has stalled in the interim. 3f2s50

2018's Crazy Rich Asians was the surprise hit of the year and broke many barriers for Asian representation in Hollywood, but the prospective Crazy Rich Asians 2has long been stalled in production limbo. Based on the satirical novel by Kevin Kwan, the film follows a Chinese-American college professor who travels with her boyfriend to meet his family in Singapore, only to learn they are ultra-wealthy. With a cast led by Constance Wu, Henry Golding and Michelle Yeoh, Crazy Rich Asians was the first Hollywood film to feature an all-Asian cast since 1993's Joy Luck Club.

ABC's Grey's Anatomy has concluded the first half of season 21, leaving fans with a huge cliffhanger with some of their favorite characters left in danger. While not in trouble, Benson "Blue" Kwan, portrayed by Harry Shum Jr., who was cast in Grey's Anatomy season 19, has had an interesting romantic subplot this season that mirrors an movie. Kwan is a more private person who keeps his personal drama relatively under wraps compared to the other interns. However, when his ex-fiancée shows up at the hospital, it gives the audience a glimpse behind the carefully crafted walls Kwan has put up.

Michelle Yeoh explains why there haven't been any announcements about Crazy Rich Asians 2. Based on the novel by Kevin Kwan, Crazy Rich Asians follows the story of Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) as she meets her boyfriend's parents and discovers he's from an incredibly rich family. The project was a massive success, totaling $238 million at the worldwide box office on a budget of $30 million. Unfortunately, there hasn't been too much word on its sequel.In an interview with Variety, Yeoh opens up about why the sequel has been facing delays for so long. The stunning success of Crazy Rich Asians has made it even more difficult to top the first movie, and it's the main reason the sequel hasn't enjoyed much progress. The news is still positive, though, considering that it's an indication a sequel is still at least in ongoing development. Check out her quote below:

Lead actor Constance Wu delivers a positive update on the production status of Crazy Rich Asians 2. Jon M. Chu's 2018 adaptation of the first of a trilogy of books by Kevin Kwan, Crazy Rich Asians was a box office hit for Warner Bros., earning praise for its buoyant cinematography, earnest rom-com formula, groundbreaking representation, and charming performances. The film starred Wu as the NYU economics professor Rachel, who flies to Singapore to meet her boyfriend Nick's (Henry Golding) family, only to discover that they are one of the wealthiest ones in the country. With a $238 million worldwide revenue, Crazy Rich Asians is ranked among the highest-grossing romantic comedies of its decade, and its opening was strong enough to warrant a sequel almost immediately.

The long-awaited Crazy Rich Asians 2 gets a major boost as it finds a new writer to step in for the original scribes. Directed by Jon M. Chu, the first Crazy Rich Asians was the breakout hit of 2018 as it supplied audiences with both classic romcom charm and much-needed onscreen representation. It starred Constance Wu as New York-based professor Rachel Chu and Henry Golding as her suave boyfriend Nick Young. When Nick invites Rachel back to his hometown of Singapore for a friend's wedding, Rachel realizes just how affluent Nick's family is, thus pitting her against his domineering mother (Michelle Yeoh).

Star Henry Golding gives a Crazy Rich Asians 2 update following nearly four years after Warner Bros. first began development on the sequel. The original 2018 romantic comedy was based on Kevin Kwan's 2013 novel of the same name centered on Chinese-American professor Rachel Chu as she heads to Singapore with her boyfriend Nick Young for his best friend's wedding. Upon arrival, she learns that Nick belongs to one of the richest families in the country and finds herself the center of attention for her modest roots from America.

Here's why the sequel to Crazy Rich Asians is taking so long to come to fruition. The 2018 romantic comedy, currently available for streaming on HBO Max, was written by Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim (based on Kevin Kwan's 2013 novel of the same name) and directed by Jon M. Chu sured its $30 million budget during its opening weekend. The film, which grossed $238 million worldwide, was the first Hollywood movie to feature an Asian cast, writer, and director since 1993's The Joy Luck Club. Crazy Rich Asians received two Golden Globe nominations and a nod from the Screen Actors Guild for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. According to Deadline, a sequel was in development at Warner Bros. in August 2018, so what is the delay?

Henry Golding is quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, and that trend will likely continue with the actor's films. After leaping to international fame with his leading role in Crazy Rich Asians, Golding began taking on more big-ticket projects, including the summer blockbuster Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, which is currently in theaters. But what all can Golding fans look forward to over the next couple of years?
