The world of Crazy Rich Asians seems to be on pause, much to the dismay of fans eagerly awaiting a sequel to the groundbreaking 2018 film. While director Jon M. Chu is riding high on the record-breaking success of Wicked, which opened to a staggering $164.2 million, the fate of the Crazy Rich Asians follow-up remains uncertain. Speaking on Deadline’s Crew Call, Chu provided an update that, while honest, may leave fans feeling bittersweet.
