Malaysian actor Michelle Yeoh is traveling through multiple dimensions in her new film “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
Into the Michelle-verse: On Tuesday, independent entertainment company A24 released the first trailer of the mind-bending action thriller, which explores the concept of the multiverse (multiple universes).
- Yeoh stars as Evelyn Wang, a woman thrust across parallel universes with a mission to take on a “great evil.”
- After being flung across an office via a rolling chair, Wang’s universe cracks, transporting her into different dimensions.
- As she moves through alternate versions of herself (chef, celebrity and kung fu master), she is apparently able to use their skills and access their memories.
- She then comes across a version of her husband who informs her that she needs to put an end to an evil force wreaking havoc throughout the multiverse.
