The "Crazy Rich Asians" actor is taking on the role of the friendly seagull, Scuttle. The part was a bucket-list dream for the star. "When I got the news, I kind of couldn't believe it, because Scuttle was a favourite character of mine. He always stood out to me," she said in a 2020 interview with Hello Giggles. "And then I met [director] Rob Marshall, who directed some of my favourite movies ever like 'Chicago,' and I definitely was a little intimidated." Eventually, though, she pushed past her fears. "You can transform yourself whenever you want — you just have to be confident in your decision and go for it," Awkwafina added.
