Jon M. Chu Updates on Crazy Rich Asians Sequel

Director Jon M. Chu has provided updates on the long-anticipated sequel to Crazy Rich Asians, emphasizing the importance of creating a high-quality script that meets the expectations set by the original film. He stated that previous adaptations of the second book, China's Rich Girlfriend, have not succeeded, and he won't proceed unless the narrative resonates with audiences. Chu noted that complications have arisen from the departure of original screenwriter Adele Lim due to pay disparity, further delaying the project. Although a sequel remains uncertain, Chu announced he is directing a Broadway musical adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians, which he described as an exciting new venture. Additionally, a spinoff film centered on Gemma Chan's character is reportedly in early production. The future of Crazy Rich Asians 2 hinges on finding a suitable script and timing.
