According to Variety, The Brothers Sun “follows Taipei gangster Charles Sun (Chien), who’s settled into his life as a ruthless killer. But when his father is shot by a mysterious assassin, Charles must go to L.A. to protect his mother (Yeoh) and utterly-unaware younger brother, Bruce (Li).”

Michelle will play Eileen “Mama” Sun, a shrewd and observant woman who has built a new life for herself and her son in Los Angeles far from her past in Taiwan.
