Upon Nimona’s release in June, Eugene Lee Yang spoke about the changes that were made to his character Ambrosius Goldenloin in the adaptation of ND Stevenson’s 2015 graphic novel, with the character’s race being changed from white to Korean.

“In this country, Asian Americans, in some ways, have been used as a racial wedge in places and are essentially put onto this model pedestal. We see this happening ultimately in a lot of different ways. But we also are, and have always been, an other. We’re all in the same boat.
“That for me was so especially poignant when I knew Ballister’s the person that Ambrosius knows and loves and everything else should just wash away, but there’s still that feeling of being beholden to some oppressive system, some force – some white woman. That is so powerful when I look at it from my Korean American perspective.”
Nimona is available to stream on Netflix and YouTube.
