Lily Gladstone, known for her dramatic roles in films like 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' is embracing comedy with her role in the upcoming film 'The Wedding Banquet,' directed by Andrew Ahn. Gladstone, who has a natural inclination towards comedy, surprised many who expected her to pursue a career in humor, possibly on 'Saturday Night Live.' In 'The Wedding Banquet,' a remake of the 1993 cult classic co-written by James Schamus, she plays Lee, an Indigenous character whose comedic timing and performance showcase her versatility as an actress. Gladstone's journey into comedy is highlighted by her collaboration with co-stars Kelly Marie Tran, Bowen Yang, and Han Gi-chan in 'The Wedding Banquet.' The film follows the humorous and heartfelt story of Lee and her partner Angela as they navigate the complexities of starting a family, alongside their friends Min and Chris, who are dealing with their own relationship challenges.
