I thought long and hard about this cast. Everyone is cast based on their talents and what we know their strengths are. My goal for the cast is that there MUST be POC in the cast; they’re playing fairies and we shouldn’t limit beautiful fairies to just white - like almost every fanart I’ve seen. I also wish for the leads to be unknown actors - unknown to western films. We have Yang Yang - one of China’s most coveted handsome actors ever. I wish for Jude to be a new name.
