At 25, Ben Wang is establishing himself in Hollywood with significant roles including 'Legends' and 'American Born Chinese.' After graduating NYU, he embraced opportunities in a changing landscape that increasingly values representation. Wang plays Li Fong in 'Legends,' a narrative that connects to previous entries in the Karate Kid franchise and promotes cultural representation. Wang's recognition at CinemaCon as the Star of Tomorrow highlights his rising prominence. He expresses pride in his role amidst a historical shift towards diversity in media, driven by successful films like 'Crazy Rich Asians.'
I feel privileged to be in this position, where I'm part of this wave opening up media representation for people that look like us.
As for Legends, it not only continues the story of the films and the Netflix sensation Cobra Kai; it canonizes the formerly unrelated 2010 remake.
