Ever rising Vietnamese star Veronica Ngo (House in the Alley, Furie) is featured in Spike Lee’s upcoming Netflix film, Da 5 Bloods, a Vietnam thriller starring Chadwick Boseman, Delroy Lindo, Clarke Peters, Norm Lewis, Jean Reno, and Isiah Whitlock, Jr. – and Ngo’s frequent co-star, Johnny Tri Nguyen, is also credited for appearing in film.
To Western audiences, Ngo is mostly known for her work in the acclaimed Vietnamese martial arts features The Rebel and Clash with Johnny Tri Nguyen, not to mention a minor role in Yuen Woo-ping’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny with Michelle Yeoh and Donnie Yen. And her recent appearances in Bright and Star Wars: The Last Jedi have gotten her more exposure in mainstream Hollywood.
Da 5 Bloods tells the story of four black veterans who go back to Vietnam to find the remains of their fallen squad leader (Boseman), as well as a trunk full of gold that they buried in the Vietnamese jungle during the war (via VF).
