After appearing in such classics as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Goonies (and a couple of other movies and TV series after that), Ke Huy Quan disappeared as an actor in 2002. Not until 2021 was he back again but it is mainly after the premiere of Everything Everywhere All at Once that it started buzzing about him again. Not least now that he won a Golden Globe for his role in the film. In the podcast Happy Sad Confused the actor recently shared that the first person to call him after Everything Everywhere All at Once was Kevin Feige who wanted him in the MCU.
“When our movie came out, the first phone call I got was from Kevin Feige. Who graciously asked me if I wanted to join the MCU and I called Jonathan and the gang, and I said, you know what, nobody wants to hire me except Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas, The Daniels, and Kevin Feige. It’s been incredible. 2022 is the year I will always remember because it’s one of the happiest years of my life.”
