Awkwafina Talks ‘Nora From Queens’ and Says ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Sequel ‘Still Exists’ (Exclusive)

Awkwafina and BD Wong chat with ET’s Lauren Zima about season two of ‘Awkwafina is Nora From Queens,’ premiering Aug. 18 on Comedy Central. Awkwafina says it was ‘surreal’ to play ‘Scuttle’ in Disney’s upcoming reimagining of ‘The Little Mermaid,’ and she confirms that elusive ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ sequel ‘still exists.’ The actor and producer opens up about the importance of the series amid the increased violence and hate speech toward the AAPI community this past year. Wong hypes ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ and gushes over his reunion with OG franchise stars Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neill. Awkwafina also teases her role in the latest Marvel film, ‘Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings,’ which she has now seen and calls ‘so good.’
