We’re just a few weeks away from the release of Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon and Disney has released an exciting new behind-the-scenes featurette. “Crafting Raya” provides a glimpse into the making of the film, with commentary by Kelly Marie Tran, Awkwafina, Adele Lim, Qui Nguyen and more.
My favorite part was when Nguyen, who not only co-wrote the script but also served as one of the martial arts consultants, talks about how he incorporated Southeast Asian martial arts fighting and weapons into the action sequences of the film. The action we’ve seen so far is stellar and I can’t wait for more.
