Benedict Wong on Nine Days and the Importance of Marvel’s Shang-Chi

From first-time feature filmmaker Edson Oda, the stripped down fantasy drama Nine Days follows a reclusive man named Will (Winston Duke), whose duty it is to interview human souls hoping for a chance to be born and select who is the most suitable. When the free-spirited Emma (Zazie Beetz) forces him to face his own demons, it sets Will on a new path in his own life. During this virtual interview with Collider, which you can both watch and read, Benedict Wong (who plays Kyo, Will’s friend and neighbor) talked about why he felt this film was a rare gem, playing a character who has never lived, the juxtapositions in Kyo, the high praise he has for writer/director Oda, and working with fellow MCU co-star Duke. He also talked about the fun he’s having working with director Sam Raimi on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and the importance of Shang-Chi. #BenedictWong #NineDays #ShangChi Read the full story here:
