Waymond (Ke Huy Quan), focused for the fight; Fanny-pack ready;
HALF AN HOUR into Everything Everywhere All At Once, everything changes, all at once, a quiet drama about an ageing Asian-American laundromat owner trying to do her taxes suddenly morphing into a full-blown Hong Kong-style action spectacular. Quiet dad Waymond — played by Ke Huy Quan, in his first major role in decades — chows down on some lip-balm, ‘verse-jumps’ his brain into the multiverse, and swiftly kicks serious butt, armed with only a humble fanny-pack. Daniels — writer-directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert — left all other 2022 action sequences scrambling in the dust. We asked Quan to reveal the secrets of the best fight scene in the multiverse.
