Ke Huy Quan has had a pretty wild journey in recent years after acting Everything everywhere and everything at once. She recently made her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Loki, playing the character of OB, which was perfect for him. The actor would now like to dive into Star Wars universe!
During an interview with Collider, Quan spoke about his “shameless” encounter with the president of Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy in which he would like to participate in Star Wars project. He shared:
“I love the MCU. You know, I was able to connect with my Indiana Jones family during awards season. And, as you know, Kathleen Kennedy was the producer, and she’s now the head of Lucasfilm. I went to her and said, “Kathy, I’d like to join the Star Wars family.” This is another wish list of mine. But honestly, I’ve been very lucky. I was very lucky.”
“I was shameless when I saw Kathy! I walked over to give her a big hug. And I said, “Kathy, Kathy, please put me in the Star Wars universe!” And what’s so great, if you think about it, it’s all under the Disney family, you know? So I was lucky enough to be Short Round, which is also Disney. And now MCU and, you know, I want to stay in the family. It’s great.”
I would really like to see Quan in the Star Wars universe. Not just as a secondary character, though. I think there’s a character that could be created for him that a project could be completely built around. He could be the protagonist! He has such a lovable personality and energetic energy, and there’s a unique and fun adventure story in the Star Wars universe for a personality like that.
It’s really not difficult to imagine a character for Quan Star Wars, and would definitely take audiences and fans on a wild adventure! The more I think about it, the more I would like to see something like this! I have this crazy vision in my head for what it could be, and Quan has the kind of fans who would flock to see him drive a Star Wars project.
Meanwhile, Quan would also like to return to the role of OB in the MCU. He said: “I haven’t had any conversation. I love OB, I love playing him. It makes me so happy that audiences are responding to this character. When I first got the call Kevin Feige and asked me to join the MCU family, I asked him, “Is this a one-time thing?” Or will we get to see him more?’ Because I loved it on the pages. And he says, ‘Ke, we always give what the fans want.’”
What do you think about Ke Huy Quan’s jump in Star Wars universe for an adventure in a galaxy far, far away?
