‘Kim’s Convenience’ Star Paul Sun-Hyung Lee Plays Captain Carson Teva In Latest Episode of ‘The Mandalorian’ – Honored Season 1 With His Halloween Costume

In the latest episode of The Mandalorian, we saw the return of Dave Filoni playing his X-Wing pilot Trapper Wolf but even more interesting is that they added Kim’s Convenience star Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Trapper Wolf’s fellow New Republic pilot Captain Carson Teva.

The Star Wars super-fan gave a huge nod to Season 1 of the The Mandalorian over Halloween dressing up as a Scout Trooper with Baby Yoda.

The seasoned Canadian actor has been growing in popularity thanks to the international attention on the CBC comedy series which introduced Shang-Chi actor Simu Liu to the world before landing the Marvel Studios role. It’s also worth noting that Simu Liu has been telegraphing for a while now he’d like to join the Star Wars Universe at some point in time.

I’m sure we’ll see more neat cameos in future episodes.

Destin Daniel Cretton May Have Announced A New Cast Member For Marvel’s ‘Shang-Chi’

Director Destin Daniel Cretton recently announced that filming on Marvel’s Shang-Chi & The Legend of The Ten Rings has completed filming on Instagram.

He also seemingly revealed on Instagram Stories a new cast member with newcomer Zhang Meng Er playing an undisclosed character in the MCU film as mentioned how proud he was with her right after praising the film’s lead Simu Liu. Although, we can’t find a lot of information on her and isn’t the two other Chinese actresses with a similar name.

UPDATE: The director has confirmed she is indeed part of the film’s cast mentioning her alongside Shang-Chi’s three official main leads.

All we have to go on is the Instagram account the director linked to on the post which might suggest she is a new actress. She also hasn’t posted on Instagram since December 30th, 2019.

It’s worth noting that Marvel Studios has only confirmed three cast members with Simu, Tony Leung, and Awkwafina. Destin announcing them on social media as the film has wrapped wouldn’t be shocking.

Here she is at a signing back in the summer of 2019.

Shang-Chi & The Legend of The Ten Rings is set to be released on July 9th, 2021.
